Epsilon 4: Smarter ownership, sustainable innovation

The Epsilon 4 from Malvern Panalytical isn’t just another benchtop X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer – it’s a smart investment in performance, sustainability, and long-term savings, offering the most precise performance of any benchtop XRF instrument available.

Energy Efficiency that pays off 
Epsilon 4 eliminates the need for chemicals or operational gases in most applications, which has led to a reduction of Malvern Panalytical’s lead footprint by over 80%. It’s cleaner, safer, and built with sustainability at its core. 

Our advanced spectrum deconvolution enables energy-dispersive XRF (EDXRF) performance that outperforms tabletop wavelength-dispersive XRF (WDXRF) – while using 20 times less energy. No compromise, just smarter science. 

What’s more, with flexible excitation settings (4–50 kV, up to 3 mA), Epsilon 4 delivers brighter excitation while using up to three times less energy than comparable 50W instruments. That’s precision with serious power savings. 

No gases, no hassles – unless you need them 
For most applications, Epsilon 4 performs precise analysis in ambient air – no helium or extra equipment required. Its Swiss-engineered optics and advanced correction algorithms ensure accuracy without added cost. And when ultra-precise light element analysis is needed, helium can still be used. You get flexibility, without complication. 

Overhaul your overheads 
With a unique silver-based anode, Epsilon 4 reduces reliance on costly rhodium or palladium and boosts performance for key elements like sulfur and chlorine. Designed to meet modern analytical demands, it delivers high-end results without hidden costs. 

Built to last 
Its X-ray tubes enter power-saving mode between measurements, reducing wear and extending lifespan. That means fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of your instrument. 

The bottom line: Sustainable science, smarter spending 
Epsilon 4 is built for labs that value precision, reliability, and cost-efficiency. From energy savings and flexible gas use to longer tube life and smarter materials, it’s the most economical benchtop XRF solution available.
