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.
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.
Non-destructive analysis: measurements are carried out directly on the sample with little to no sample preparation. Since XRF is a non-destructive technique, the sample can be measured subsequently by other analytical techniques, if required.
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.
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.
Atmospheric variations: 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 atmospheric variations, ensuring excellent results whatever the weather.
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.
Very easy to use. Reproducible analysis. Very user-friendly.

When correctly installed, your new Epsilon 1 will give you reliable analysis results. Installing an Epsilon 1 is straightforward: unpack the system, plug it in and follow the instructions, which we will guide you through. Finally, a simple radiation test completes the installation and confirms that your system is working safely. Yes, it is that easy to start using your Epsilon 1. And, more importantly, you can rest assured that your system is supplied with the necessary safety certification.
Smart install ensures you can get new instruments up and running even when unexpected circumstances or remote locations prevent an engineer from accessing your facility. For the Epsilon 1, we offer a guided smart installation, enabling you to install the system yourself and maintain the integrity of the instrument and its safety certification.
