Over 90% of Philippine nickel mining laboratories can’t be wrong. In nickel ore mining, speed and accuracy in laboratory analysis are not just optional — they are essential to profitable and reliable operations. Every result influences critical decisions, from ore grading to export compliance.
That is why more than 90% of assay laboratories in the Philippine nickel laterite sector have chosen one analyser as their benchmark for trust and performance: the Spectro Xepos ED-XRF, distributed exclusively by QES Technology Philippines, Inc.
With over 145 installations nationwide, the Spectro Xepos has established itself as the instrument of choice for laboratories that demand precision, efficiency, and consistency. Its overwhelming adoption goes far beyond popularity — it reflects proven performance.
The Spectro Xepos is recognised for delivering results that rival those of wavelength-dispersive XRF systems, which are typically more expensive and complex. It is designed to measure key elements in nickel laterite ore such as Ni, Co, and Fe₂O₃, along with other important elements including Mg, Al, Si, Cr, Mn, and up to uranium on the periodic table. Its robust hardware stability and 12-position sample tray ensure dependable accuracy while accommodating high sample throughput.
By contrast, traditional wet chemistry methods are tedious, time-consuming, and costly. Constant procurement of chemicals, coupled with the need for special permits, slows operations and increases expenses. The Spectro Xepos streamlines the process with minimal sample preparation and rapid turnaround times, significantly reducing operating costs.
For laboratories aiming to elevate accuracy even further, QES also offers the Environmental Express Katanax Fusion Machine, available in both 3-placer and 6-placer models. Fusion technology prepares samples as fused beads, eliminating mineralogical effects and producing highly reliable results that align with ISO 18227 standards. By combining the Spectro Xepos with Katanax Fusion, laboratories can achieve ultra-precise analysis.
Behind every Spectro Xepos installation in the Philippines is the full support of the QES Technology Philippines technical team. With service hubs strategically located in Pampanga, Manila, Cebu, and Surigao City, QES provides clients with fast and expert assistance. From installation and training to calibration and preventive maintenance, customers are assured of responsive and professional support.
The widespread adoption of the Spectro Xepos ED-XRF across the Philippine nickel ore mining industry underscores its status as the standard for accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. And with the option to integrate Katanax Fusion technology, laboratories can meet international benchmarks while maximising profitability.
In nickel ore analysis, downtime is costly — that’s why Philippine assay labs choose Spectro Xepos.
