This factory-refurbished Olympus Vanta Element-S is configured specifically for detecting lead in paint on industrial surfaces, structures, equipment, and commercial environments. It provides fast, nondestructive confirmation of whether paint contains lead, enabling safer renovation, demolition planning, remediation assessment, and worker exposure control. This is the ideal screening tool for industrial hygienists, remediation professionals, safety officers, and facilities inspectors who need reliable, on-site lead-in-paint results.

The Vanta Element-S is rugged, field-ready, and simple to operate, with clear on-screen numerical Pb readings. Users can quickly scan painted surfaces and document results for compliance records and internal safety processes — saving time and reducing uncertainty in environments where lead-based coatings may be present.
