Epsilon 1 Lubricating oils
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.
Overview
Epsilon 1 is a star-performing benchtop XRF instrument for the analysis of phosphorus, sulfur, calcium and zinc in unused lubricating oil in compliance with the latest ASTM D6481 test method. The repeatability for all four additives is well within the limits set by D6481.

Software
Epsilon software
Epsilon software is the XRF analysis software platform that is used with PANalytical’s range of Epsilon 1 and Epsilon 4 benchtop EDXRF systems.
Stratos
The software provides a rapid, simple and non-destructive means of analyzing coatings, surface layers and multi-layered structures.Omnian
Omnian software enables users to achieve the best possible analysis when dedicated methods or certified standards do not exist.
FingerPrint
A FingerPrint software module combined with an Epsilon EDXRF system is ideal for material testing when analysis speed is important but the actual composition is not of interest.
