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.
Système autonome
Un ordinateur intégré exécutant Microsoft Windows 10 et équipé d'un processeur puissant et d'un disque dur de 120 Go garantit une certaine flexibilité pour stocker et gérer des milliers de résultats. L'écran tactile LCD de 10,4 po (26,4 cm) haute résolution est idéal pour un déplacement aisé.
Pour faire fonctionner l'analyseur, branchez-le sur une prise secteur standard ; il est alors prêt à être mis sous tension.
Communication facile
Des connexions USB et réseau pour des périphériques informatiques standard permettent une utilisation prolongée, le développement d'applications et la position assise de l'opérateur.
Protection contre les déversements
Un film de protection contre les déversements est en place pour protéger le cœur fragile du système. En cas de déversement, les feuilles peuvent être remplacées facilement par l'opérateur.
