"Epsilon 5 is an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer with Ge detector. The sensitivity is relatively good, enabling the elemental analysis to a 1 mg/kg levels for most elements. As usual with XRF spectrometers, the accuracy depends greatly on matrix effects, thus necessitating the calibration in the matrix analyzed. With the standardless calibration providing semi-quantitative results, which is available with most XRF spectrometers, it helps with the triage of the samples for more complex and accurate elemental analysis."
