X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to characterise and identify crystalline materials. XRD analysis provides information about the crystallographic structure, chemical composition, and physical properties of a sample. XRD is particularly useful for identifying fine-grained minerals and mixtures or intergrowths of minerals, which may not lend themselves to analysis by other techniques.

XRD analysis has applications in geology, material science, environmental science, chemistry, forensic science, and the pharmaceutical industry.

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is another non-destructive analytical technique used to primarily to determine elemental concentrations in solid, powdered and liquid samples.

XRF provides information about the elemental composition of a sample and is frequently used for analysis of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science and archaeology.

Both techniques are complementary to each other, and QEMSCAN® analysis. Intellection offer both services for analysis of samples using XRD or XRF, and the Bruker range of instruments as part of a comprehensive solution package.
