XRD

(Desktop X-Ray Diffractometer)

Description

The powder diffraction of X-ray (XRD) is applied to various materials such as cement, cosmetics, food, forensic chemistry, geology and mineralogy, paints, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, among others.

The diffraction of X-ray powder (XRD) is one of the techniques used by mineralogists and solid state chemists to examine the physical-chemical make-up of solids. In this technique we obtain a diffraction pattern by registering the intensity of X-rays as a function of the angle 2-theta.

Equipment

Desktop X-Ray Diffractometer RIGAKU, model MiniFlex II.

Sample

Samples in dry powder form and homogeneous. The samples should be supplied in sufficient amount to cover the plate sample of 2 cm².

Analysis Request

The analysis request should be filled and signed by the head of the institution that makes the request (Download the application form). Analyses are performed by order of submission of application in laboratory analysis. The results are given within 24 hours. In the case of samples for method development and in the case of large numbers of samples, the response time is agreed with the authority solicitor.

The equipment is operated solely by the technician in charge. If requested by the client it is allowed direct contact with the equipment which provides a brief technical/theoretical accompanied demonstration working practice.

Upon request of an analysis the client should contact the technician directly responsible for the equipment to clarify all issues that involve the analysis.
