Measuring trace-level elements? Even the sample film can influence your results.
In this quick clip, Parisa Shadabipour, PhD explains why films like Prolene, polypropylene, and Mylar have their own impurity profiles and why that matters for trace analysis.

An autonomous lab does not necessarily need a large footprint.
At #DenverXrayConference, we fit this robotic sample-handling demo into a 10 × 10-ft booth, showing how a compact system can move samples between instruments as part of an integrated workflow.
Even with paper mockups, the takeaway is clear: #LabAutomation for #XRD and #XRF can be surprisingly space-efficient.

What if the most important part of your sample is the part you never knew was there?
A Northwestern researcher explains how MicroED helps uncover minor products that can be missed by traditional bulk characterization, providing a more complete view of complex synthetic landscapes and expanding structural characterization capabilities.

Five years ago, the XtaLAB Synergy ED was introduced as a dedicated electron diffractometer designed to simplify electron diffraction workflows.
Since then, the platform has evolved with researcher-driven advancements, including: • EDS for grain-level elemental analysis • Particle queuing for automated multi-grain data collection • Image-based automatic Z-height centering • Support for room temperature, cryogenic, and air-free cryo-cooled sample holders
Watch the video for a quick look at five years of progress in electron diffraction.

What changes when researchers can understand their materials earlier in the discovery process?
In our latest customer spotlight, Prof. Omar Farha and the team at Northwestern University Department of Chemistry share how MicroED is helping them work with challenging samples, evaluate results sooner, and make more informed research decisions.
Thank you to Omar Farha, Chris Malliakas, Haley Wellman, and Julian Brennan-Magdalenski for sharing their experience and insights.

What does it take to uncover the true identity of a new material?
For a @NUChemistry researcher, it starts with preparing powdered samples for PXRD analysis. By revealing a material's unique fingerprint, PXRD helps scientists understand exactly what they created and guides the next steps of discovery.
Every breakthrough starts with asking the right questions.
