The SHINE Soil Edition portable X-ray diffractometer (XRD) is designed for accurate identification of clay minerals and soil analysis in both laboratory and field environments. By combining XRD and XRF technologies, it provides fast, reliable determination of clay mineral types—including chlorite, kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, and mixed-layer illite/montmorillonite—and their quantitative content, even in fine-grained samples.

Using the principles of X-ray diffraction, SHINE Soil Edition quickly determines the crystal structure and mineral composition of soil samples, delivering high-precision results with simple operation and minimal sample preparation. This makes it a powerful tool for geological surveys, soil science, reservoir characterization, agriculture, and environmental research.

Key Advantages of SHINE Soil Edition XRD

• Portable Design – Compact, lightweight, and durable all-in-one unit with waterproof and dustproof housing. Perfect for fieldwork and laboratory use.

• Integrated XRD + XRF Technology – Simultaneously collects structural and elemental data for more accurate phase analysis and material composition.

• Easy Operation – One-button functionality, automatic detection, and no need for correction, high-pressure systems, or cooling circulation.

• Real-Time Data Transmission – High-speed connection via USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi for seamless data transfer and remote instrument control.

• CCD Detector – Captures diffraction ring slices to ensure correct sample preparation and representative data accuracy.

• Flexible Configuration – Supports multiple anode targets (Cu/Co) to suit specific application needs.
