Vista Clara is pleased to introduce a new addition to our family of high-resolution Dart™ NMR logging tools: Helios Trek™. Helios Trek is a portable NMR soil core analyzer that can be used in both the laboratory and the field. This rugged and portable system is operated by the Dart™ NMR Control Unit and enables NMR measurement from freshly extracted soil samples with a spatial resolution as small as 1.5 inches (4cm).

The Helios Trek is applicable to projects in groundwater resources, environmental remediation, geotechnical engineering, and mining, where extraction of soil and rock sore samples are already widely employed. The ability to perform magnetic resonance measurements on these soil and rock core samples in the field enables additional  fast and objective measurements of water content and other key hydrogeological properties that would otherwise require expensive and time-consuming laboratory analysis.

The image below shows a good agreement between water content estimated by gravimetric analysis and the one measured by Helios Trek system.
