X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
Identifies crystalline structure, phase composition, and crystallite size. X-rays interacting with a crystalline lattice produce a diffraction pattern that acts as a fingerprint for the substance.
Sample requirements
- State the nature of the sample (for example hazardous, volatile, or explosive).
- Minimum sample quantity: 0.2 g, in an Eppendorf tube placed in a ziplock bag.
- Only powder samples are acceptable.
