Real-time Mineralogy

High Speed Mineralogical Quantification (HSMQ) delivers rapid, high-accuracy mineral data in minutes — enabling faster decisions, better interpretation, and fully scalable analysis

Value

  • Get mineralogical results in 3–5 minutes, not weeks

  • Analyse unlimited samples without time constraints

  • Deliver accurate mineral and clay quantification in real-time

Traditional mineralogy is too slow

  • XRD turnaround: 2–3 weeks

  • Limited sample throughput

  • Delayed decisions

HSMQ changes the workflow

  • Results in minutes

  • Onsite or remote deployment

  • No compromise on data quality

Q. WHAT IS HSMQ

A. High Speed Mineralogical Quantification

  • ​HSMQ is a next-generation mineralogical workflow that combines:

  • FTIR measurements

  • Advanced mineralogical models

  • Qmineral expertise

Key Advantage

HSMQ is effectively: A high-speed, location-independent version of traditional XRD

⚡ From weeks → minutes

Comparison:

Traditional XRD

Offsite lab analysis

2–3 week turnaround

Limited sample volume

 

HSMQ

Onsite or remote

Results in 3–5 minutes

Unlimited measurements

 

Fast doesn’t mean compromised

HSMQ delivers:

  • High-accuracy mineral quantification

  • Full mineral prediction (not limited subsets)

  • Reliable clay identification

Proven performance

  • Strong correlation with XRD results

Powered by world-leading mineralogy
