The SHINE Research Edition portable X-ray diffractometer (XRD), developed by LANScientific, integrates XRD, XRF, and advanced software technologies into one compact solution. Designed for both laboratory and field use, it provides rapid, precise analysis of crystal structure, phase identification, and material composition, including secondary and trace elements.
By utilizing transmission geometry technology and a micro-focus X-ray tube, the SHINE Research Edition delivers higher resolution and stability, especially for low-density materials such as pharmaceutical samples. Its unique vibration system ensures maximum crystal exposure to the X-ray beam, while the CCD detector captures diffraction patterns with exceptional clarity.
This portable XRD system requires only minimal sample preparation, avoids contamination, and achieves fast, high-accuracy measurements, making it a powerful tool for materials research, drug development, geology, mineral studies, and nanomaterials research.
