Fast at-line elemental analysis

Malvern Pan­a­lyt­i­cal presents Epsilon 4, the new high-per­for­mance bench­top ana­lyt­i­cal tool for the deter­mi­na­tion of the chem­i­cal com­po­si­tion of all kinds of mate­r­i­al. Built on the expe­ri­ence and suc­cess of the proven Epsilon 3 range of XRF spec­trom­e­ters, the Epsilon 4 is a mul­ti-func­tion­al instru­ment open­ing new appli­ca­tions for indus­tries such as min­ing, phar­ma or oils&fuels who are oblig­ed to com­ply with inter­na­tion­al reg­u­la­tions and test meth­ods. Com­bin­ing the lat­est advances in exci­ta­tion and detec­tion tech­nol­o­gy with mature soft­ware and a smart design, the ana­lyt­i­cal per­for­mance of the new bench­top instru­ment approach­es the one of more pow­er­ful and floor-stand­ing spectrometers.
Due to its low infra­struc­tur­al require­ments, Epsilon 4 can be placed next to the pro­duc­tion line any­where in your process. Its high per­for­mance enables most appli­ca­tions to be oper­at­ed at ambi­ent con­di­tions, reduc­ing costs for heli­um or vac­u­um main­te­nance. The unique low-drift met­al-ceram­ic X‑ray tube, designed and man­u­fac­tured by Malvern Pan­a­lyt­i­cal, deliv­ers com­pli­ant results for years with­out the need for cost­ly re-cal­i­bra­tion. The instru­ment can auto­mat­i­cal­ly process sam­ple batch­es with­out the need for oper­a­tor attention.
Epsilon 4 is a high­ly flex­i­ble tool avail­able in a 10-Watt ver­sion for ele­men­tal analy­sis (F – Am) in areas from R&D through to process con­trol. For even high­er sam­ple through­put or extend­ed light-ele­ment capa­bil­i­ties and in more chal­leng­ing envi­ron­ments a 15-Watt ver­sion is avail­able, which can even ana­lyze car­bon, nitro­gen and oxy­gen. “Epsilon 4 deliv­ers the high­est count rate in the mar­ket while lit­tle or no sam­ple prepa­ra­tion is required to achieve very fast and repro­ducible results”, says Simon Mil­ner, prod­uct direc­tor at Malvern Pan­a­lyt­i­cal. “It is the per­fect ana­lyt­i­cal tool for any indus­try need­ing to com­ply with increas­ing­ly strin­gent test meth­ods and norms. Trust our expe­ri­enced staff to work with you on tai­lored solu­tions for your ana­lyt­i­cal challenges.”
