Extract

For several years we have prepared and submitted a variety of quality powder x-ray diffraction patterns to the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) for inclusion as reference standards in their Powder Diffraction File (PDF). Patterns submitted and/or currently under development include metal hydrides (inorganics), flavanoids and related compounds (organics), organic compounds involved in pollution (e.g., dioxins), explosives (organics and metal organics) and glass-ceramic phases (inorganics).
