Company | quality policy

Quality is the basis of all activities at KETEK, 

and everyone contributes significantly to quality. It is our ultimate goal to gain and maintain satisfied and convinced customers. This is achieved through accurate products and services and by competent and friendly cooperation with our customer's staff. These goals require commitment, expertise, and personal responsibility of all employees. 

The detector and electronics production is controlled and optimized by quality and cost. Highest yield, on-time delivery, and a zero-defect quality are the objectives of all processes, products, and services.

Moreover, they are essential to ensure the company’s future. End of March 2008 KETEK has been certified by TÜV Management Services for the integration of a quality management system according to ISO 9001:2000 for "sales, manufacturing and development of semi conductor detectors, detector systems and corresponding electronics".

Accessories

All you need to operate your VITUS SDD or
AXAS for your specific application

Products | Vitus SDD

X-Ray Silicon Drift Detectors for
EDX  -  XRF  -  TXRF  -  Applications

Our VITUS family fits
to your application
  • Up to 100 mm2
  • Down to 123.0 eV FWHM
  • Peak to background > 20000
  • Up to 1 Mio cps
  • No liquid nitrogen cooling
  • Integrated peltier element
  • Easy to operate
VITUS H Class

Higher collimated SDD area for
maximum peak to background

VITUS H class SDD modules are dedicated for x-ray energies between 250eV and 30keV in applications as EDS and (T)XRF that require excellent peak to background ratios up to 20.000

VITUS R Class

Larger active area for shorter measurement times

SDD areas from 10 to 100mm² of our R class types offer higher count rates at  given signal strength leading to shorter spectrum acquisition times

PRODUCTS | vitus performance classes

VITUS Standard Series

The VITUS Standard modules are encapsulated with a nickel cap and low pressure nitrogen filled. Energy resolutions range from 139eV for the VITUS H7 to 160eV for the H80 module.

The achievable cooling performance is a Delta T of 55K which results in typical SDD operation temperatures of -35°C at an ambient temperature of 20°C.

VITUS Premium Series

Our Premium Class SDD's offer state of the art energy resolution values down to 129eV and below at 5.9 keV. Detectors with Be window are fully evacuated and offer a superior cooling performance achieving a Delta T of > 75K. The specified minimum FWHM can therefore be guaranteed even at ambient temperartures up to 40°C which is especially important for portable spectrometers.
Premium Class versions with AP3.3 low energy window feature high performance KETEK SDD's (FWHM < 129eV) which are encapsulated with a low pressure nitrogen filling.
