New Software for XRD Quantitative Analysis
PANalytical (Almelo, Holland) is extending its innovative software for XRD with a powerful tool for quantitative analysis. The new tool, designated X'Pert Quantify, is said to offer the most complete set of quantification models on the market and operates with the company's XRD systems including legacy systems up to 15 years old. For these older systems, in particular, it provides an important software upgrade to bring them up to near state-of-the-art in ease of use and analytical power.
X'Pert Quantify is described as a complete quantitative analysis package that includes measurement, extraction and correction routines. Capability of working independently or in conjunction with other PANalytical XRD software, it accepts input from peak intensity measurements, integrated area measurements and scans in PANalytical's open XRDML data format, and stores quantitative results in an MS Access database.
The package is also able to evaluate data off-line, allowing extraction and/or analysis of relevant intensities from previously acquired measurements.
