TGA Case Study
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
Miniflex 600 – Rigaku
MiniFlex benchtop X-ray diffractometer is a multipurpose powder diffraction analytical instrument that can determine: crystalline phase identification (phase ID) and quantification, percent (%) crystallinity, crystallite size and strain, lattice parameter refinement, Rietveld refinement, and molecular structure.
Accessories
D/teX Ultra: 1D silicon strip detector that allows for fast high-resolution scanning.
ASC-8 : automatic 8 position sample changer with spinner Integrated spinning improves particle statistics in polycrystalline sample measurements.
Graphite monochromator for D/teX Ultra
optimizes sensitivity by lowering the background level. It improves signal-to-noise by eliminating fluorescence from Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni containing materials.
Scanning Electron Microscopy + EDX
TM3030Plus – Hitachi
The TM3030Plus tabletop microscope is a low-vacuum scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) that allow easy observation and analysis, without specimen preparation, of samples including even non-conductive materials or materials containing water or oil.
Accessories
Min-SVE 2107 – Bruker
Scan Generator – Bruker Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) makes use of the Xray spectrum emitted by a solid sample bombarded with a
focused beam of electrons to obtain a localized chemical analysis.
