# Determining the presence of foreign phases in your powders by XRD

## Would you like to determine the presence of foreign phases in your powders by XRD?

### Why determine the presence of foreign phases in your powders by XRD?

First of all, [X-ray Diffraction analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/x-ray-crystallography-laboratory-xrd.md) (XRD) is an analytical method used to study the different phases of a crystalline material. This makes it possible to identify the crystallized compound or compounds, as well as the crystallographic forms of the material.

XRD can therefore identify the **presence of foreign phases in your powders**.

The use of XRD to determine the presence of foreign phases in powders can therefore be applied to **any type of powder**, including [hydroxyapatite HAp powders](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-powder-characterization/laboratory-analysis-hap-iso-13779-3.md), where XRD can identify the presence of foreign phases such as **alpha-TCP, beta-TCP, CaO, and TTCP**.

Consequently, only **a laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art XRD equipment and qualified teams** is able to determine the presence of foreign phases in your powders using XRD.

## FILAB supports you in determining the presence of foreign phases in your powders by XRD

Through our three service levels—analysis, expert assessment, and R&D support—[FILAB](https://filab.fr/) helps companies across all industries determine the presence of foreign phases in their powders using XRD.
