Humidity and Temperature-dependent X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)
Humidity and temperature-dependent X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) is an advanced analytical technique used to study the effects of environmental conditions on material properties. This technique provides valuable insights into polymorphic transitions, crystalline to amorphous transformations, and hydrate-anhydrous solid form transitions—all critical aspects for industries where material stability and behavior are essential.
At Seven Star Pharmaceutical Services (Seven Star), we use the most advanced Empyrean XRPD instrument equipped with humidity and temperature control units. This allows us to perform not only routine XRPD analyses but also humidity- and temperature-controlled experiments to examine how materials react under different environmental conditions. More information about this unit can be found on the manufacturer's website, Malvern Panalytical, at the following link: Malvern Panalytical
