Characterize pharmaceutical products with the ARL EQUINOX 100 X-ray benchtop diffractometer

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a crucial technique in the structural and phase characterization of pharmaceutical products, playing a key role from drug discovery to quality control. In this application note, the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ EQUINOX 100 benchtop XRD instrument is introduced and offers a cost-effective solution for various pharmaceutical applications, from initial polymorph screening to extensive research studies. The instrument provides fast data collection times due to its CPS detector, allowing for quicker decision-making and processing of samples. It can perform both transmission and reflection mode measurements, and optional sample stages such as capillary stage and controlled atmosphere cell provide flexibility for various applications.
