The Pharma Lab Show Live:
Reflection and Transmission X-ray Powder Data

Do you run into challenges when collecting X-ray powder patterns in Reflection and Transmission geometries, setup, and optimal measurement parameters for pharmaceutical samples? 

In this episode, we used the SmartLab SE to demonstrate:

  • Instrument setup for Reflection and Transmission measurements. 
  • How to select the measurement range and step size. 
  • Should you use sample spinning and what spin speeds work best. 
  • The importance of measurement time.
