Rapid particle size reduction for X-ray diffraction
Retsch, Haan, Germany, has extended its wide range of mills and grinders with the introduction of the McCrone XRD-Mill which has been specifically developed to meet the requirements of sample preparation for X-ray diffraction analysis.
A key feature of this mill is its novel grinding action: the grinding jar contains 48 cylinders which pulverise the sample very gently by friction. As a result the crystal lattice structure of the sample is largely preserved which is an important precondition for obtaining meaningful X-ray diffractograms. Further advantages are short grinding times, virtually no sample loss and exceptionally narrow particle size distributions.
For optimum micronisation the mill is operated for periods of 3 to 30 minutes; the recommended sample volume is 2-4ml.
Benefits include:
• Crystal lattice structure of sample is preserved
• Minimum sample contamination
• Narrow, reproducible particle size distribution
• Compact bench-top model
• Easy cleaning
