Radically better X-ray data — for deeper materials insights.
Rapid mail-in access to synchrotron powder diffraction and scattering. No proposals. No minimums. Results in 2–4 weeks.
Powering industrial and academic materials analysis.
Why teams switch from lab XRD to us
Five reasons teams never go back.
Data quality
Brilliant data.
200× better signal-to-noise than lab XRD. 2–5× sharper resolution. Detect phases down to 0.01 wt%. Characterise amorphous, nano, and disordered materials that lab XRD cannot see.
Scale
Massive capacity.
Whether 5 samples or 50,000 — same workflow, same quality. Scale with your project, not with the limits of an instrument.
Speed
Short turnaround.
2–4 weeks from shipment to results. No backlog. No waiting months for a beamtime slot. Build it into your project timeline and rely on it.
Expertise
World-class support.
Our analytics team are experts in scattering data — founded by alumni of BASF and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. You focus on the science and strategy; we handle the measurement and the analysis.
Pricing
Flexible and affordable.
Purchase credits (€45–150 each, volume discounts) valid for 12 months. No hidden fees — credit cost covers sample preparation, data processing, and data storage. Same price range as a lab XRD service. Radically better data.

Tools
Advanced tools you can use today.
Built alongside our measurement service—use them with your own data, on their own, at no cost.
Search-Match on the web
Identify crystalline phases—for free.
Search-Match matches your powder diffraction pattern against 500,000+ crystal structures from the COD. Upload a pattern, get matches in seconds—no signup, no cost.
Search 500,000+ crystal structures—instantly.
Our hosted mirror of the Crystallography Open Database gives you instant structure search. Either search structures by name or attributes or use Search-Match to find a phase and jump to the full structure.
Open Measurement Database
Coming soonBrowse 10,000+ reference measurements.
We've collected 10,000+ high-quality synchrotron diffraction and total scattering measurements through the EU OSCARS program. The open-access database launches soon.
