Geotek Company Introduction:
Geotek, a British company, is the designer and manufacturer of the world's best-selling core equipment MSCL (Multi Sensor Core Logger Core Comprehensive Testing System, also known as Multi Parameter Core Scanner). Almost every laboratory engaged in core research work in the world (scientific research, engineering exploration, oil drilling, etc.) has installed MSCL, with over 220 users. MSCL has very stable, reliable, and durable performance, suitable for both laboratory and field use. It has been widely used in core libraries, geological key laboratories, temporary field laboratories, offshore survey ships, deep-sea drilling ships, and engineering ships around the world. Geotek is the most commonly used core analysis equipment by scientists. Wherever there are rock cores on Earth, there are Geotek products.

MSCL is currently the most widely used core scanner in the international scientific research and engineering fields, with over 220 users worldwide! MSCL is currently the most comprehensive integrated testing system for core geophysical and chemical properties in the world, applied to seabed sediment column samples, lake sediment column samples, rock cores, etc. The characteristic of MSCL is that it does not damage the sample, and multiple measurements are synchronized, fast, accurate, efficient, and fully automated. The maximum 10 parameters that can be measured include: P-wave velocity, gamma density, resistivity, magnetization, color spectrum, natural gamma radiation, surface high-definition optical imaging, high-resolution XRF element concentration (or handheld XRF), hyperspectral imaging, visible light and near-infrared ground spectra, etc. Customers can freely choose according to their own needs. Different MSCLs have different structures and can directly measure the entire rock core stored in plastic pipes, as well as measure cut open rock cores. Some measurements can be made through aluminum or stainless steel materials, but generally speaking, measurements made through plastic have better results. The multi model MSCL configuration has many advantages, which can be measured for different rock cores, operating conditions, and occasions to achieve the best results. MSCL has very stable, reliable, and durable performance, suitable for both laboratory and field use. It has been widely used in core libraries, geological key laboratories, temporary field laboratories, offshore survey ships, deep-sea drilling ships, and engineering ships around the world.
Core comprehensive testing system (standard type)
MSCL-S
The MSCL-S Standard Core Comprehensive Testing System is one of the 10 MSCLs in the MSCL (Multi Sensor Core Logger Core Comprehensive Testing System, also known as Multi Parameter Core Scanner) series produced by GEOTEK in the UK (see product list above), and is the best-selling model among them. MSCL-S can measure complete and cut open rock cores, and is applied to seabed sediment column samples, lake sediment column samples, rock cores, etc. Its characteristic is that it does not damage the sample, and multiple measurements are synchronized, fast, accurate, efficient, and fully automated.
The MSCL-S standard core comprehensive testing system can integrate up to the following 10 types of sensors:
1. P-wave velocity
2. Gamma density
3. Resistivity
4. Magnetic susceptibility (point and ring)
5. Color spectrum
6. Visible and near-infrared spectra of ground objects
7. High resolution optical surface scanning, ultraviolet imaging
8. High resolution XRF element concentration (or handheld XRF element concentration)
9. Natural Gamma Radiation
10. Hyperspectral imaging

The MSCL-S standard system is one of the most powerful, integrated sensors, flexible, and user-friendly products in the MSCL series, which can be used in laboratories and offshore survey ships. Usually placed on the floor with a bracket, it can also be installed on the desktop. The core is placed on the carrying track, and the propulsion system pushes the core through fixed sensors to complete the measurement process. The length of the core can be automatically measured by a laser. After a core test is completed, the software will prompt the user to insert a second core. A complete rock core can be continuously measured, and the raw and processed data can be visualized on a computer.
The MSCL-S standard system can measure rock cores up to 1.55m in length (diameter between 50 and 150mm) with spatial resolution as small as a few millimeters. Users can choose the properties that need to be analyzed, set the corresponding spatial resolution, and change it at any time. MSCL is a fully automated device that is controlled through the control software on the Windows platform. It is easy to operate and the data obtained can be displayed in real-time and processed. Both raw and processed data can be saved on disk and output to other software for analysis.
