Crystallographic characterization

Crystallographic characterization allows us to identify the internal structure of crystalline materials by determining their atomic organization, their crystalline phase, their degree of crystallinity and any structural impurities. This analysis is crucial for understanding the mechanical, thermal, optical or chemical properties of materials, and is aimed at the materials, polymers, nutraceuticals, agri-food and functional ingredients sectors.

The reference technique is X-ray diffraction (XRD), which allows obtaining a diffractogram specific to each crystal structure. It can be used for: phase identification, crystallinity quantification, crystallite size determination (via Scherrer's law), or phase transition detection. Other techniques can complement the analysis: electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy or FTIR.

Typical matrices include: mineral powders, active ingredients, excipients, semi-crystalline polymers, plant extracts, ceramics, etc.

At YesWeLab, we collaborate with a carefully selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the required analytical techniques or methods.
