High-speed process control. Uncompromising quality control. One robust platform.

Harsh and remote industrial environments wear down traditional WDXRF instruments. Drifting accuracy, long feedback loops to production, and unplanned downtime lead to rejected batch shipments and rack up significant operational costs. Zetium is engineered to eliminate these risks.   

Excellent long-term stability

Delivers repeatable results across measurements year after year, enabled by outstanding spectrometer stability. 

  • 2× lower drift than conventional X‑ray tubes with our proprietary SST R‑mAX tube, powered by patented ZETA and Robust Anode Arrangement.  
  • Advanced thermoregulation maintains cabinet temperature within ±0.05 °C, even with 20 °C ambient variations.  
  • Drift monitor program enables precise intensity correction that lasts for years.  

Engineered for industrial uptime

Built to run continuously in harsh industrial environments with minimal downtime. 

  • CHI-BLUE coating protects Be tube window from chemical corrosion and improves tube durability.  
  • Unique dust-removal system minimizes contamination before entry into optical path.  
  • 24/7 cloud-based monitoring with Smart Manager prevents unexpected downtime.  
  • Automatic liquid‑sample recognition prevents accidental loading into vacuum chamber. 

Highest sample throughput

Processes up to 240 samples per 8-hour day with zero compromise in precision or lower-limit detection.  

  • Simultaneous WD and EDXRF analysis with SumXcore technology cuts measurement time by up to 50% while detecting unexpected elements. 
  • 40% higher linear count rate for transitional metals and 3.5× for heavy elements, with Duplex and HiPer Scintillation detectors.   
  • 2 Hi-Per channels enable simultaneous measurement of (ultra)light elements.  
  • 30% faster sample changer than previous model. 

Unmatched accuracy

Controls and minimize errors at every step, from sample preparation to results, with ready-to-use application packages for accuracy that is reproducible and effortless.  

  • From 100+ to 20+ calibration standards, enabled by market-leading FP algorithm and synthetic standards. 
  • Cut method development time from weeks or months to just a few days.  
  • Import and export application templates in a few clicks.  
  • Advanced corrections for gain/loss on ignition in fusion process and line overlaps. 

Lower operating costs

Reduces costs from training, operation, and consumables with streamlined setup and design. 

  • Small‑volume airlock design cuts helium usage by over 200 litre per hour for a 10‑sample batch, compared to WDXRF systems without.  
  • Intuitive software interface and guided application setup with Virtual Analyst cut training overhead costs. 
  • 1 kW power available with no chiller required. 

Application packages geared to your industry

Malvern Panalytical is the only XRF supplier that designs and manufactures certified synthetic standards in-house. Combining our close collaboration with industrial partners with our unique portfolio of sample preparation solutions , backed by over 60 years of expertise, our off‑the‑shelf and custom solutions ensure ultimate performance, tailored to your industry. 

Mining & minerals

Precise, reliable analysis at all mining stages, successfully replacing ICP‑OES and wet chemistry.

Building materials

Accuracy of cement analysis is guaranteed by following the ASTM C114, ISO 29581‑2, and EN 196‑2 norms.

Metals

Meet strict process control requirements, even in high‑throughput, time‑sensitive environments.

Petrochemicals

Compliant with a wide range of ASTM and ISO norms, with superior low detection limits.

Polymers

Support consistent product quality for polymers and plastics in compliance with RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives.

Battery materials

Enable accurate and fast elemental analysis of cathode precursors and cathode powders for lithium batteries.

Standardless analysis accelerates discovery

R&D and academic labs deal with unknown materials or a lack of suitable reference materials every day. Zetium offers rapid, non‑destructive analysis with accuracy you can rely on – no in‑type calibration standards required.

  • Omnian package’s accurate net‑intensity determination, advanced FP algorithm, and in‑house synthetic standards cover elements from O to U for all sample types.

  • Programmable collimator masks (6-37 mm) and multiple sample holders accommodate different sample sizes.

  • ED channel enables faster small spot mapping than the traditional WD-based approach, leveraging Omnian with a 0.5mm spot size.
