A good choice if you are looking for an X-ray instrument for your lab.
Application Area:Polymer manufacturing
"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you for your review. We’re happy to hear you value our instruments and support.

"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseDear David, thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear your happy with our system. As part of our continuous efforts to improve our offerings we have just released a new software version in which all regular work can be done in the modernized part. We strive to offer best service and will work hard to get back to the standard you expect from us.

Our process cannot exist without information supplied by the Zetium.
Application Area:Determine chemical composition of bauxite, mud and alumina
"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you for taking the time to leave this review, great to hear that the Zetium is important to your process efficiency.

Very reliable and consistent if method is set up correctly.
Application Area:Elemental analysis in various metallic samples
"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you Michele for your review and the praise for our support and service teams! We continuously work on improving our systems so hearing that the Zetium is top of the line in the XRF market is really rewarding to us.

In spite of everything; the results are great and I am satisfied!
Application Area:Research and commercial Laboratory
"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 assurance of excellent service - stable XRF - super software makes Zetium No. 1
Application Area:Analysis of non-ferro alloys, powders and raw materials
"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you very much for your positive feedback. We are glad to hear that our Zetium is giving you all satisfaction and especially the praise for our service team.

A nice instrument, small footprint, easy to use software, great after the sale support and training!!
Application Area:X-RAY ANALYSIS
"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."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you for your review. We are glad to hear that our Zetium is compact and easy to use.
