Today, the 150th Ultra-X module leaves Sioux Technologies. A milestone that reflects years of development, industrialization, production, and close collaboration together with Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Ultra-X is an EDX detection system for Thermo Fisher Scientific’s high-end transmission electron microscopes. It enables materials to be analysed down to the atomic level, combining high speed with the sensitivity required for demanding microscopy applications.
Sioux has been involved from the early development phase onwards. Together with Thermo Fisher Scientific, our multidisciplinary teams worked on the concept, engineering, prototype, industrialization, and serial production of the module. The first beta module left our production facility in 2021.
Reaching number 150 shows what happens after a complex high-tech design has been proven. Serial production requires controlled cleanroom processes, dedicated production equipment, trained specialists, supply chain management, testing, and qualification before each module is ready for delivery.
A great milestone for everyone who has contributed along the way, and a good example of how we bring high-tech from development into qualified series production.
