Powder X-Ray Diffraction

PANalytical X-Pert Pro Powder

From March 2019 onward these XRD equipment are under the preview by Dr. Xinsong Lin. Please contact him for training and maintenance.

PANalytical X-Pert Pro Powder with X’Celerator detector is a powder x-ray diffraction (pxrd) instrument that is available for general use. The instrument can be coupled to many attachments but by default configured in the reflection mode. The data collection is controlled by PANalytical DataCollector software and data analysis performed using PANalytical HighScore Plus with PDF database.
