The amorphous quartz glass powder in analytical quality is used to reduce absorption effects in X-ray powder diffraction measurements (XRD measurements) on samples containing heavy elements and/or low excitation energy. The glass powder has a grain size of less than 10 µm.
To achieve optimal measurement results, the powder must be mixed homogeneously with the sample before filling the sample into a marker tube.
The product was developed in cooperation with Dr. Christoph Hennig from ESRF Grenoble & HZDR Dresden.
