WHAT XRD CAN TELL YOU
Phase Purity
Evaluate whether additional crystalline phases or reaction products are present.
Crystal Structure
Examine diffraction features associated with crystalline structure and material identity.
Crystallinity
Compare crystalline character between materials, batches, or processing conditions.
Quality Verification
Use diffraction patterns to support incoming material, process, and finished product review.
MORE THAN A DIFFRACTION PATTERN
XRD results are most useful when interpreted in the context of the chemistry and processing history.
Lorad's scientists and engineers use X-ray diffraction throughout inorganic materials research, process development, manufacturing, and quality control. That experience can help customers investigate unexpected phases, compare processing conditions, confirm material identity, and understand changes in crystalline products.

XRD Analysis Pricing
Straightforward per sample pricing is available for routine powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Volume pricing applies automatically as the number of submitted samples increases.
| Number of Samples | Typical Turnaround | Price Per Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 samples | 4 to 5 business days | $115 |
| 4 to 10 samples | 5 to 6 business days | $105 |
| 11 to 20 samples | 8 to 10 business days | $95 |
| More than 20 samples | Variable | $85 |
Turnaround is measured from receipt of samples. Specialized sample preparation, nonstandard measurement conditions, additional analysis, or unusual sample requirements may affect timing and pricing.
| Additional Charges | Price |
|---|---|
| Analytical method development | Quoted individually |
| Expedited analysis | 50% surcharge, subject to availability |
