PANalytical CubiX3 X-ray powder diffractometer

The CubiX3 is PANalytical’s third-generation X-ray powder diffractometer. The CubiX3 introduces features such as high-intensity data collection as well as extra flexibility in sample handling for automated environments.

X-ray diffraction has already reached significant importance as a process and production control method for powdered materials in many industries. Its initial investment is rapidly earned back because of the ease of operation, the independency of operators and the safety for the users, when compared to traditional methods like wet-chemical process control or microscopy methods. The CubiX3 range includes dedicated versions, tailored to the needs of those working in cement, minerals, pharmaceuticals or aluminium production.

The Walk-Up software available for CubiX3 enables a user with no knowledge of XRD to enter urgent samples at any time, even if the diffractometer is already processing a routine batch, and automatically receive a report of results with no user input to the analysis. The Walk-Up/CubiX3 combination provides an analysis tool for multi-user environments.

The CubiX3 supports the full analytical X-ray powder analysis methodology from classical data analysis up to full pattern cluster analysis for statistical data interpretation and pass/fail determination.
