Easysaxs, Panalytical's Saxs (small angle X-ray scattering) solution, enables users with little or no prior knowledge of the technique to conduct nanometer-scale materials characterisation.
Used in conjunction with the company's Xpert Pro MPD (multi-purpose X-ray diffractometer), Easysaxs opens up possibilities for the characterisation of nanopowders and nano-composite materials.
It provides valuable data on average particle and pore size, size distribution and specific surface area of nanoparticles and is suited for applications in the size range from 1nm up to 100nm.
As the latest addition to the Xpert Pro MPD platform, the Easysaxs solution follows Panalytical's Prefix concept.
Easysaxs makes use of standard system hardware; an instrument can be configured for Saxs measurements and then changed to any other configuration in a matter of minutes.
An automatic sample changer is available if required.
This makes Xpert Pro MPD a suitable system for demanding multi-disciplinary environments where users with diverse samples conduct a wide range of different analyses.
The Easysaxs software incorporates proven algorithms, which Panalytical has integrated into a 'software shell'.
Data analysis and reporting can be fully automated and do not require operator intervention.
Results can be exported to standard presentation packages such as Microsoft Excel.
Testing is non destructive and needs only minimal sample preparation.
Industrial applications are wide ranging and include ceramics, paints, nanocomposites, functional coatings, catalysts and cosmetics.
