In pharmaceuticals, PXRD is most commonly used to detect traces of polymers. Better detectors and optical technologies are being developed primarily to push the limits of detection (LOD) still lower.

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

The technique is typically carried out on a single crystal, but because not all substances easily form good quality crystals, powder X-ray diffraction (PXD) is sometimes used instead. Powder X-ray ...

Sampling is one of the most important aspects of particle size analysis. If a biased sample is analyzed, a biased particle size distribution will be recorded. The requirement for good sampling not ...
