A new elemental spectrometer, launched at PITTCON 2015, combines up to three complementary technologies on one multi-functional XRF platform. The Zetium spectrometer’s measurement platform holds both wavelength dispersive (WD) and energy dispersive (ED) cores integrated by SumXcore technology. Also available are a small spot analysis tool for fast element distribution mapping and a THETA free lime channel for dedicated cement applications.
The instrument’s combination of technologies not only matches the traditional needs of XRF users, but offers a range of new possibilities. For example, measuring ED and WDXRF simultaneously collects all the data on a sample in one run, cutting experimental time in up to half compared to running two sequential analyses. For industry-specific challenges such as those found in cement production, the ability to make traditional XRF measurements and assess free lime in the same system delivers clear advantages. Zetium is the successor to PANalytical’s Axios range of spectrometers.
To make system selection straightforward, the instrument is available in specific industry editions: cement, polymers, petro, metals and minerals, along with an ‘ultimate’ edition. Each has a choice of four enhanced performance packages for improved speed and throughput, performance enhancement, robustness and uptime, and flexibility. PANalytical
