Powder XRD

The Bruker D8 Advance is a highly versatile and modular X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system used for comprehensive materials characterisation. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used for identifying crystalline materials, determining their purity, and characterising their structural properties. Key applications include phase analysis, which identifies the components in a mixture, and quantifying the amount of each phase. It is widely applied in geology, materials science, and pharmaceuticals to analyse everything from minerals and ceramics to active pharmaceutical ingredients.
