In semi quantitative analysis, we can refine a pattern to determine weight fractions of your compound. XRD analysis can also calculate the percent of crystalline vs amorphous solids in your material. In some cases, one may be preferred over the other based on the end-product or industry.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the formulation and molecular structure of a drug is critical and can affect how it reacts with your body. If the chemicals are properly formulated but the drug has the wrong structure, it could have major health and safety problems. At Eurofins EAG, we can help identify these structures.
With our wide range of services, we offer complementary techniques to tailor to your needs. X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is another non-destructive technique that is used to determine the elemental compositions of materials and to measure film thickness and composition. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a great complement to the capabilities of our XRD services. While XRD can provide unparalleled information on phase ID, nanocrystalline grain size, thin film thickness and textures; the capabilities available by EBSD will provide spatial information, to help visualize the microstructure and add to a complete description of your crystalline samples.
At Eurofins EAG, our XRD team has collectively over 100 years of XRD expertise. We have a collaborative group coming from different backgrounds, industries and research specialties. With our recent addition of a Small Spot XRD tool along with our extensive instrument base, we offer a wide variety of analyses to tailor to our clients’ needs.
