Epsilon 1 User Guide (English)
Version number: 6
Overview
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 that doesn't require 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.
Features
-
Maximum sensitivity: 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.
-
Self-contained system: A built-in computer running Microsoft Windows 7 with powerful CPU and 120 GB hard drive ensures flexibility to store and handle thousands of results. The high-resolution, 10.4” LCD touch screen is ideal for easy walk-up operation.
-
Easy communication: USB and network connections for standard computer peripherals support extended use, application development, and seated operator.
-
Spillage protection: 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.
Robust and flexible quantification
Epsilon 1 allows screening and quantification by XRF for an unlimited number of applications for many types of samples.
The instrument is calibrated with Omnian, our market-leading standardless analysis package, used on our more advanced instruments.
An out-of the-box solution, Omnian can be used to analyze a wide variety of sample compositions from sodium to americium across the periodic table.
