A large selection of sample holders
Our versatile line of ARL benchtop XRD instruments can be adapted for several sample types in various analytical conditions. Sample adaptors are easily switched in a matter of seconds without the need for tedious re-alignment. Accessory stages include everything from fixed non-spinning sample stages to automatic sample changers with spinning sample holders to temperature-controlled stages.
Compliance with regulatory requirements
Thermo Scientific SolstiX XRD Software with Security Suite enables pharmaceutical companies to comply with the US Federal and Drug Administration’s 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Using this software, laboratories can authenticate users, obtain true digital signatures to record responsibility and provide data integrity protection, and obtain complete audit trails—ensuring they maintain the security of electronic records.
