Theta/Theta X-Ray Diffractometer

APD 2000 PRO is a Theta/Theta powder diffraction system for XRD qualitative and quantitative analysis of polycrystalline materials. With an achievable peak resolution < 0.04° 2Θ and an angular accuracy within 0.02° over the whole 2Θ angular range, APD 2000 PRO guarantees the necessary level of performance for the most demanding X-ray diffraction material investigation in a low cost configuration.

Which Measurements can be performed with APD 2000 PRO?

• Qualitative and Quantitative Crystalline Phase Analysis
• Degree of Crystallinity Calculation
• Polymorph Screening
• Cell parameters, Crystallite size and Lattice strain determination
• Rietveld refinement for structural characterization

APD 2000 PRO X-Ray Diffractometer Features :

• Theta/Theta Goniometer: GNR has developed a compact goniometer, adopting stepper motors with optical encoders, to ensure extremely precise angular positioning.
• Optics: X-ray beam collimation is obtained by variable slits that guarantee a perfect alignment of the beam in the equatorial plane, while in the axial plane the divergence is limited by interchangeable Soller slits.
• APD 2000 PRO can mount glass or ceramic X-ray tubes with high reproducibility and stability of focus position.
• X-ray Detectors: Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs), multi strip linear and area detectors (1D, 2D).
• Sample holders: several sample holders are available to meet the specific needs of each laboratory (rotating sample , stage, standard and custom sample holders, air sensitive sample holder, spinning 6 position multisample holders).
