Overview

The Epsilon3 is an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for performing quick elemental analysis on a range of sample types. The instrument is sensitive to the elements fluorine through to uranium in concentrations from ppm up to 100%.​

Common Research Applications

• Bulk chemical analyses of major elements

• Bulk chemical analyses of trace elements​
  

​​

Specifications

• Metal-ceramic, side-window X-ray tube (max. 50 kV, 3 mA, 15 W)

• Ag anode

• Six tube filters (Kapton, Ti, 2x Al, Cu & Ag)

• He gas purge to improve intensities of lighter elements such as F, Na, Mg and Al

• 10-position autosampler allows for multiple sample throughput​
  

Measurement Packages

The instrument is controlled by PANalytical's Epsilon3 software which also facilitates qualitative and quantitative analysis, including the 'Omnian' package for standardless analysis.​

Accepted Sample Types

• Powders (loose and pressed)

• Fused beads

• Metals

• Liquids

• Films

• A dedicated large sample mode can accommodate larger objects up to a size of 10 x 20 x 10 cm (H x W x D)​
  

Further options for sample preparation include a high-temperature furnace for preparing fused beads from your sample material. More details can be found on the Sample Preparation page.
