What XRD can help you understand

Use routine powder XRD to compare diffraction patterns and identify crystalline phases within an agreed scan and interpretation scope.

Choose the measurement scope

  • Routine powder pattern
  • Qualitative phase identification
  • Matched powder comparison

Single-crystal, texture, stress, quantitative Rietveld, in-situ and synchrotron work are separate routes with their own feasibility, price and turnaround.

Prepare your samples

State material, powder availability, expected phases, mounting constraints and any air sensitivity. Agree the scan range and preparation before dispatch.

Do not dispatch restricted or unstable material before acceptance. The quotation and shipping instructions confirm the receiving location and any cross-border constraints. Shipping time is additional to laboratory turnaround.

Planning questions

What should I prepare?

State material, powder availability, expected phases, mounting constraints and any air sensitivity. Agree the scan range and preparation before dispatch.

What is outside the standard scope?

Single-crystal, texture, stress, quantitative Rietveld, in-situ and synchrotron work are separate routes with their own feasibility, price and turnaround.

When does turnaround begin?

8–12 working days is the indicative laboratory period after technical acceptance and receipt of all required samples and information. Preparation, special conditions and shipping can extend the overall schedule.
