Zetium XRF by Malvern Panalytical

"MAlvern Panalytical's XRF is very easy to operate, calibrate and use. Results are precise."

"An absolutely must have instrument. It comes with a fully automated procedure and sample changer. It is very straight forward and easy to use. The software is intuitive and user friendly. It is possible to make standardless analyses, measure minor elements in geological and technological samples with a very high confidence and very small limit of detection."

"Although product is very good as far as accuracy and speed of sample analysis are concerned, it's not rugged in nature. Very sophisticated instrument and has so many minor issues with poor support and serivice. "

"High precision equipment, very stable and easy to operate. Very friendly software."

"The software is intuitive and easy to use. Setting up applications and calibration is straightforward and the instrument provides consistently accurate results."

"It provides very fast and accurate results. You just calibrate and select the application you require. It is comfortable, operative, after-sales care is great. You get remote support on software related issues and a specialist on-site if required. Value for money and you save time."

"A quality product for primary study of needs and applications."

"Use of Zetium 2.4 kWt helped to significantly improve the productivity of the laboratory. Processing up to 500 samples per day (24 hrs) with a decent quality of measurements. Main elements K, Mg, Na, Ca being measured in raw ore and final products."

"Rapid analysis capability, easy to use (once set up), great data security and traceability, great for a QC environment."

"Excellent instrument. Use it all the time for Cl and S analysis. "

"The Zetium is very efficient and low maintenance. Haven't had any issue with the instrument, great for analyzing cements to ensure compliant with AASHTO Specifications."

"Easy to use. Looks very nice, service contacts are great to work with. After hours contacts work in a timely manner."

"Perfect analysis instrument for any solid sample"

"The Zetium XRF by Malvern Panalytical is an awesome X-ray instrument! It is very easy to use, and easy to calibrate. It has a clear view panel so that you can see all of your samples running. You can run one sample or a series of samples at a time. The instrument is steady and so far has had very little drift. The support from Malvern Panalytical has been great. Phone support is very knowledgeable and on-site support have been helpful as well."

"Software is a blend of new and old which can be confusing but it works well on the whole. Hardware is very reliable and help is always only a phone call away. Standard of the service has dropped post Malvern acquisition."

"Excellent value to our process since it delivers a large suite of elemental analyses in a short run time. The throughput for analyzing a large number of samples is excellent, the instrument is stable, and delivers high level accuracy and repeatability. The characterization of raw material, waste and product quality is very important to process efficiency and productivity and the Zetium delivers in this regard."

"The Zetium is a workhorse in our lab. It is consistent and reliable for numerous elements regardless of the sample matrix. The biggest issue we had was setting up methods that were representative and adapted to accurately analyze our samples. With training provided by Malvern Panalytical, this was easily accomplished. Their support is excellent, however they are busy and may delay PM visits. From a user’s perspective, the daily analysis and basic use of this instrument is very user friendly. Use becomes slightly more difficult in method development where support and training are highly recommended. Very little has gone wrong with this instrument. In the rare occurrence of mishaps, service has always been excellent in making any necessary repairs. Overall, the Zetium is top of the line in the XRF market with its reliability over time and ability to be customized to its user’s applications."

"Instrument is easy to use and provides accurate, reliable results."

"The product is ok but the combination of ED-XRF needs to have more applications for the custumer. The new application done in Almelo concerning ED-and SSM must be transported to the custumers. SuperQ6.2b still has bugs that need to be fixed. The interface of the system and applications should be consolidated onto only one interface!"

"The Zetium is the fifth XRF in 40 years in our company. 2 times a Siemens was bought and 3 times a Panalytical. The Zetium, which has been in service for six months, is doing an excellent job. Fast, accurate, stable and very accessible. The development of the new measurement programs was much faster than with the Axios. Factor 2. The Zetium software is much more efficient than the older software on our Axios system. High-performance and splendid software. Changing and searching for calibrations or measurements is very accessible. Last but not least, the service of Panalytical is great as always and certainly for this reason we have again opted for a Panalytical system."

"Very fast and accurate results, with wide range of use for different industries"

"This instrument was fast and accurate."

"Very fast and accurate results."

"The Zetium paired with SuperQ b software is incredibly intuitive. Issues stemming from high throughput solutions are minimal and these issues are handled quickly. We operate exclusively under vacuum in a 24/7 environment; with light, routine maintenance."

"It calibrates well for what we are looking at. Software is very intuitive."

"Calibrates well to levels we look at. Software is very intuitive. Product support is great from their diverse application specialists."

"This x-ray instrument is very easy to use. It has simplified software that is end user friendly. When we purchased it, we also received several days worth of training for all of our team members in the lab to familiarize everyone with the new software. It has the ability to enlarge the onscreen look also. The footprint of the instrument is smaller than our previous version which allows more room in the area for other needed items. Our standard deviation is so much better now on our daily standards with this new instrument as it is extremely stable. We also like the emergency stop button on the front of the instrument because it is prominent and right there if you were to need to shut it down."
