XRF analyzer Epsilon 1

The Epsilon 1 is a fully integrated energy dispersive XRF analyzer consisting of a spectrometer, built-in computer, touch screen and analysis software. Powered by the latest advances in excitation and detection technology the Epsilon 1 is a star performer in the low-cost benchtop instrument class.

Epsilon 1 produces fast, cost-effective, precise and accurate data with minimal operator dependence and sample preparation. The total running cost is therefore much lower than other analytical techniques such as AAS, ICP and wet chemical methods that are costly and also require a dedicated skilled operator.

The Epsilon 1 is a portable and safe alternative to a handheld xrf analyzer or xrf gun. Read our five reasons why you should consider an Epsilon 1 over a handheld. 

Epsilon 1 is built for the characterization and analysis of any type of sample in many industry segments such as cement, cosmetics, environmental, food, forensics, metals and coatings, mining and minerals, nanomaterials, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, polymers and RoHS-2.

A number of out-of-the-box solutions are available for specific analytical needs. Those industry versions are pre-calibrated in the factory and ready to use:

Easiest analysis of additives in lubricating oils

Looking for an easy and economical method for compliant analysis of additives in lubricating oils? Epsilon 1 is the ideal analytical solution. The system is pre-calibrated in the factory and is an out-of the-box solution with guaranteed performance in compliance with ASTM D6481. This method describes the testing for phosphorus, sulfur, calcium and zinc in unused lubricating oil by XRF.

 

Making fuel analysis easier than ever

Looking for an easy, economical, and compliant method for analyzing sulfur and chlorine in fuels? Epsilon 1 is the ideal solution. Depending on the sulfur and chlorine concentration in your fuels or oils, and on the specific test method you need to comply with, you can select from our two models: Epsilon 1 for Sulfur in Fuels (starting from 15 ppm) and Epsilon 1 for Ultra Low Sulfur (starting from 5 ppm).

 

XRF in the hands of scientists

Looking for a flexible, yet simple to use, analytical instrument for research and education?

Epsilon 1 is the ideal addition to any institution’s analytical equipment. It is capable of simple element identification and quantification to more sophisticated analysis. Introduce students to an analytical technique widely used in industry for production and quality control, but often neglected in the classroom.

If you want to liven-up your university or enhance your serious cutting edge research, the Epsilon 1 is an easy to operate, compact and X-ray safe instrument without the need for additional chemicals. Epsilon 1 can be used for educating students in lab-practicals and for research activities in a variety of disciplines, for example, chemistry, geology, archeology, environmental sciences, material sciences and forensics.

 

Focus on the details to capture the bigger picture

Do you need elemental analysis of small objects or small inclusions in electronic appliances, toys, jewelry, rocks or finished products? Epsilon 1 for small spot analysis, a compact X-ray fluorescence spectrometer with an analyzing spot size of 0.8 x 1.2 mm, is the ideal analytical solution for a flexible and precise spot-on analysis.

Due to the self-contained design and small footprint, Epsilon 1 can be placed close to the sample location, making the instrument an ideal solution for any elemental analysis in production facilities, exploration sites, at the shop counter or even at crime sites for forensic investigation. The performance of the spectrome

 

Looking for an easy but accurate solution?

Want to get better accuracy and precision from your handheld XRF spectrometer, while keeping your workflow as simple as possible? Our Epsilon 1 ED-XRF spectrometer is here for you.

Epsilon 1 produces precise, accurate data – quickly, cost-effectively, and with minimal operator involvement or sample preparation. It’s set up for Pd, Pt, and Rh analysis directly from the factory, so you can get started straight away. And the spectrometer is designed for ultra-safe operations and reproducible sample positioning. Plus, with its compact, robust design, all you need is a regular main connection!

This easy operation makes Epsilon 1 the ideal choice for high-quality, on-site XRF analysis.ter meets the standard test methods required by different directives and regulations in various industry markets, like RoHS-3 for electronics and CPSIA for many consumer goods.

 

For faster well interventions

The Epsilon 1 Wells is an on-asset monitoring solution that gives you critical production chemistry and flow assurance data within minutes. It maximizes uptime and production by giving you the ability to make data driven decisions about production parameters.

The application landscape focuses on scale management, well treatment surveillance, production constituents tracking and solids characterization - in almost real-time. The DNV Marine certification ensures continued operation in the harsh offshore environment. 

Epsilon 1 can be calibrated using reference materials that match the composition of the routine samples. These dedicated calibrations result in accurate data with high precision. Epsilon 1 can be calibrated for a wide variety of industry applications.

Epsilon 1 is a star-performing benchtop XRF instrument for the analysis of major, minor and trace elements from sodium to americium, across the periodic table.

The Enhanced Data Security option for the Epsilon system software helps you strengthen your audit trail, minimize the risk of error, and prove that your XRF instrument is working as expected. Capabilities include advanced user management, action logging, and data protection.

 

The measurements are carried out directly on the sample itself with little to no sample preparation. Since XRF is a non-destructive technique, the sample can also be measured subsequently by other analytical techniques, if required.

The thin window Ag anode X-ray tube, designed and manufactured by Malvern Panalytical, ensures high quality and sensitivity. The 50 kV X-ray tube and generator is ideal for exciting heavier elements, resulting in faster analysis times and higher accuracy.

USB and network connections for standard computer peripherals support extended use, application development, and seated operator.

Low-energy X-ray photons characteristic of sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur are sensitive to air-pressure and temperature variations. Built-in temperature and air-pressure sensors compensate for these atmospheric variations, ensuring excellent results whatever the weather.

A spillage protection foil is in place to shield the delicate heart of the system. In case of spillage, the foil can be replaced easily by the operator.
