You get data & insights
Expert processing, organised storage, optional analysis. Results in under 2 weeks.
"The data from Momentum Transfer has been incredibly valuable. We're seeing structural details that simply weren't visible in our previous measurements."
What synchrotron data gives you
High-resolution X-ray data helps you identify and quantify crystalline phases, track structural changes during processing, and get reliable results to guide R&D and back up decisions.
- · Identify and quantify crystalline phases—detect desired and undesired structures early
- · Track crystallite size and microstrain—link processing to activity and stability
- · Detect trace phases and impurities—up to 200× higher signal-to-noise than lab kit
- · State-of-the-art analytics—QPA, Rietveld, PDF, structure determination
- · Organised data storage and secure access—optional expert analysis and support
- · Flexible use—single projects or high-throughput studies, from 5 to thousands of samples
What we offer
Measurements as a service, analysis as a service, and analysis tools—so you can focus on the science.
Measurements as a service
Mail-in synchrotron measurements: HR-XRPD, PDF, SAXS. We run high-throughput at ESRF several times per month—short turnaround, no proposals, organised data storage and optional expert processing.
Learn more Analysis as a service
Add phase ID, Rietveld refinement, QPA, or PDF analysis to your data. Our specialists deliver state-of-the-art analytics on demand—from €50 per analysis. Book expert support when you need it.
