X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis Overview

Meet the demand for high-precision chemical analysis

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a versatile, nondestructive analytical technique that’s sensitive to the atomic structure of matter. XRD enables phase identification, quantification, and many more applications used for a diverse array of industrial and research applications.

 

The Thermo Scientific ARL X-ray diffractometers are designed to meet the stringent structural and phase analysis requirements of today’s industrial and research labs—offering a cost-effective solution for quality control, dynamic studies, formulation determinations, and research and development. These instruments are routinely used by a wide range of applications including geology, polymers, pharmaceuticals, polymers, steel, nanomaterials, semiconductors, forensics, and more. 

 

Videos, brochures, and other useful information to help you expand your knowledge are available in the XRD Academy.
