X-ray crystallography laboratory (XRD)
What is X-ray crystallography?
First of all, X-ray crystallography is an analysis technique that relies on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with mater in cristallin form. In contrast with elemental analysis that helps identify and quantify the different components of a material, this technique makes it possible to study the different phases of crystalline materials.
In fact, X-ray crystallography is a method used to gather several different informations such as molecular and crystal structures ( bond lengths, bond angles, and conformation…) and for obtaining the absolute configuration of molecules within the solid state.
Besides, adding the Rietveld refinement method to this technique, makes it possible to characterize et quantify trace amounts of several components.
This technique can be applied to various industries such as:
- metallurgical
- ceramics
- pharmaceutical
- medical…
How can we help you ?
FILAB laboratory provides the expertise of its doctors and engineers as well as its cutting-edge analytical fleet and offers you tailored assistance in X-ray crystallography analysis.
This method can be coupled with elemental techniques (ICP, Ion Chromatography…), thermal methods ( TGA, DSC) and XRD to gather as much information as possible on your materials.
