What happens when world-class X-ray measurements become accessible?
Researchers often have to make a compromise: accessible measurements with low-quality data, or long wait times for high-quality from synchrotron facilities. Momentum Transfer removes this trade-off. We provide standardised X‒ray measurements to deliver excellent quality data, with a fast turnaround time, for both small and large sample sets.
You send us your samples—we take care of everything else: scheduling, setup, measurements, processing, and delivery. Whether you have five samples or five thousand, we scale to meet your needs—no delays, no complex setup, no hidden fees—accurate measurements—fast results.

Access advanced X-ray techniques
We offer HR-XRPD, Total Scattering, PDF analysis, and SAXS—powerful tools to uncover structural details from atomic order to nanoscale morphology.
"Momentum Transfer data have been incredibly valuable for my research. You can see things that just aren't visible in laboratory measurements."
Prof. Dave Billing
University of Witwatersrand
We’ve rethought X-ray measurements—here’s what that means for you.
From powder diffraction to small-angle and total scattering: test without limitations and get the full picture!
What will you discover?
You’ve learned to work around the limitations of lab machines. Now see what research looks like without them.

“The data you provided were exceptionally well-treated, allowing for direct use in PDF analysis and avoiding any inappropriate data treatment.…Overall, the entire process, including sample shipment and the experiment report, has been very smooth for me.”
Jing Lin
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
"The high resolution data were considerably superior to all other data we have collected for the same samples...Such high resolution data are fundamental to discriminate several minor phases in cement samples and also extremely useful to distinguish polymorphism and minor contamination."
Prof. Carlos Campos
Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brazil
"Overall, the XRD data quality is superb and your help plus documentation with reducing/fitting data is very helpful…. I hope we can keep using Momentum Transfer in the future. It’s really nice to be able to combine Rietveld+PDF."
Prof. Yoji Kobayashi
KAUST, Saudi Arabia
"The XRD look amazing. Previously, I thought our peak widths were materials-limited, but turns out they are definitely instrument limited on our lab instrument…. We will definitely consider sending you samples in the future."
Prof. Frederik Haase
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Germany
"Overall, I found your measurements are fast, the data reduction is very professional and saved me time from doing data reduction such as background correction, so I just need to focus on data analysis."
Dr. Ying Xiong
Laboratoire Catalyse & Spectrochimie (LCS) UMR, France
"I highly recommend Momentum Transfer for their high-quality data, efficient processes, and responsive collaboration, making them an ideal choice for sophisticated analytical techniques."
Dr. Anna-Lena Hansen
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
"The report with the data is great—a comprehensive source of information about the data and experiment, a nice quick overview of the data… data accessible by a number of programs, and easily converted into other file types."
Dr. Kathryn Arpino
Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Germany
