Overview

The Ultimate edition of the Zetium spectrometer represents the most advanced configuration in the Zetium family. The combination of WD and ED core and innovative technologies delivers analytical excellence in every situation, from R&D laboratories to high-throughput production facilities.

The Ultimate edition is pre-configured to deliver unrivaled sensitivity across the periodic table with thin-window, high-power tube technology, laterally curved crystals and unique detector technology, saving time and increasing sample throughput in busy laboratories.

The Ultimate edition also features Omnian, our market-leading standardless analysis module, for the qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of unknown materials or materials where calibration samples are not readily available. In addition the inclusion of the SumXcore delivers significant advantages for conventional applications, such as reduced analytical times, identification of unexpected elements and spectrum archiving.

Addition of the small spot analysis and mapping option using the ED core allows practical, time-efficient data acquisition. The entire spectrum measured by the ED core at every spot significantly reduces measurement times and allows for standardless quantitative data capture.

Connected World

Unleash the potential of your data

Until now, instrument data has too often been stuck in manual records, spreadsheets or site-specific servers. By connecting the Zetium to our Smart Manager and continually analyzing instrument data in the cloud, you can unleash its full potential. This is just one of our digital solutions that are part of Malvern Panalytical's Connected World.

The Zetium Ultimate by Malvern Panalytical is a top of the line X-ray instrument that produces very fast and accurate results. Once calibrated, the instrument is very user-friendly and training numerous operators to carry out process analyses on a 24/7 basis has been very straightforward. Although we experienced a number of commissioning bugs (early production unit) and a tube stability issue, Panalytical continued to work with us, stepped up to ensure these issues were resolved and made things right. At times, over the past few years, there didn't seem to be enough Service Engineers to go around but I have been assured that this is being addressed. I would recommend this instrument.
