Overview
Epsilon 1 will be pre-calibrated in the factory for analyzing of Pt, Pd and Rh in spent automotive catalytic convertors. Put loose powder in a sample cup and measure directly.
The accuracy of the method is validated by measuring Certified Reference Materials. The results clearly demonstrate the capability of Epsilon 1 for the analysis of valuable precious metals Pt, Rh and Pd in catalytic converters.

Guaranteed maximum safety
All Malvern Panalytical X-ray solutions are designed according to the strict regulations of regulatory bodies. The Epsilon 1 tabletop system shields its users against X-rays during analysis.
You’ll have peace of mind in the lab thanks to a unique internal interlocked enclosure providing complete radiation protection, deserving its Vollshutz classification. No need to worry about safety as the system is fully enclosed and completely safe.
Be Flexible
Sometimes, it’s just not possible or worthwhile to calibrate all your sample types. Perhaps there are no standards, or those that are available are too expensive. But you can still use a generic method to analyze the elemental composition of a single sample. Even better – this method is available on our Epsilon 1 XRF benchtops.
How does this work? By using our standardless Omnian software! Combining twenty generic samples with the power of physics, Omnian can quantify elemental composition for a wide variety of sample types – including polymers and liquids.
In sich abgeschlossenes System
Ein integrierter Computer mit Microsoft Windows 10, leistungsstarkem Prozessor und 120-GB-Festplattenlaufwerk gewährleistet die flexible Speicherung und Verarbeitung von Tausenden von Ergebnissen. Der hochauflösende 10,4-Zoll-LCD-Touchscreen ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Bedienung.
Um den Analysator zu betreiben, schließen Sie ihn an einen Standard-Netzanschluss an. Danach kann er sofort eingeschaltet werden.
Einfache Kommunikation
USB- und Netzwerkanschlüsse für handelsübliche Computerperipheriegeräte, um einen erweiterten Anwendungsbereich, die Entwicklung von Anwendungen und eine Bedienung im Sitzen zu unterstützen.
Schutz vor Verschüttungen
Zum Schutz des empfindlichen Herzens des Systems vor Verschüttungen ist eine Schutzfolie vorhanden. Nach einem Verschütten kann die Folie vom Bediener leicht ausgetauscht werden.

Software
Epsilon-Software
Die Epsilon-Software ist eine Softwareplattform für die RFA-Analyse, die mit den EDRFA-Tischsystemen der Epsilon 1- und der Epsilon 4-Serie von PANalytical eingesetzt wird.
Stratos
Omnian
Mithilfe der Omnian-Software können selbst dann noch beste Analyseresultate erzielt werden, wenn keine dedizierten Methoden oder zertifizierten Standards vorliegen.
FingerPrint
Ein FingerPrint-Softwaremodul in Kombination mit einem Epsilon EDRFA-System eignet sich hervorragend für Materialprüfungen, wenn die Analysegeschwindigkeit wichtig, aber die tatsächliche Zusammensetzung nicht von Interesse ist.
