Looking for an easy and economical method for compliant analysis of sulfur in fuels?
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 D4294, ISO 20847, ISO 8754, IP496, IP336 and JIS K2541-4.
These methods describe the testing for sulfur in petroleum and petroleum products like fuels by XRF.
Epsilon 1 is pre-calibrated for sulfur analysis in compliance with the latest international test methods: ASTM D4294, ISO 20847 ISO 8754, IP496, IP336 and JIS K2541-4.
Epsilon 1 is a star-performing benchtop XRF instrument for the analysis of sulfur in fuels according to the latest test methods: ASTM D4294, ISO 20847 ISO 8754, IP496, IP336, and JIS K2541-4. The results of the repeatability test for sulfur are well within the limits set by ASTM D4294, being the most stringent method.
The thin window Ag anode X-ray tube, designed and manufactured by Malvern Panalytical, ensures high quality and sensitivity. The selection of Ag as anode material is ideal for the accurate quantification of sulfur without interference of possible line overlaps in the XRF spectrum, leading to more reliable results.
A built-in computer running Microsoft Windows 10 with a 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.
To operate the analyzer, plug into a standard mains connection, and it is ready to power on.
USB and network connections for standard computer peripherals support extended use, application development, and seated operator.
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.
Epsilon 1 Ultra-Low Sulfur (ULS) is a star-performing benchtop XRF instrument for the analysis of sulfur starting at 5 ppm sulfur in fuels.
Pre-calibrated in the factory, Epsilon 1 ULS is our out-of-the-box solution for analyzing ultra-low sulfur in automotive fuels in compliance with many relevant test methods, including ISO 13032, TIER 3, and ASTM 4294. Optionally, the instrument comes also pre-calibrated for trace analysis of chlorine in crude oils.
Epsilon 1 gives you precise and accurate data with minimal sample preparation and no need for using helium - this keeps the total running cost to a minimum.

Epsilon software is the XRF analysis software platform that is used with PANalytical’s range of Epsilon 1 and Epsilon 4 benchtop EDXRF systems.
Omnian software enables users to achieve the best possible analysis when dedicated methods or certified standards do not exist.
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.
To assure that your instrument remains in top condition and performs on the highest level, Malvern Panalytical offers a wide range of services. Our expertise and support services assure an optimal functioning of your instrument.
