X-ray Diffraction Laboratory


Welcome to the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A & M University. We are a full service X-ray Diffraction laboratory offering state of the art instrumentation for the analysis of solid materials. Our services include single-crystal, powder diffraction and small angle x-ray scattering analysis for Chemistry, Material Sciences and Pharmaceuticals. We are staffed by fully trained Ph.D. scientists who employ the most up to date diffraction and x-ray techniques. Please feel free to contact us about your diffraction needs.

Our Mission
The purpose of our laboratory is to provide x-ray diffraction analysis to the Texas A & M University system. Our main focus is to determine molecular structure from single-crystal samples, to determine shape and size by small angle x-ray scattering and to perform high resolution x-ray powder diffraction. We provide services to outside users on a collaborative basis. We are a full service facility, able to determine the three dimensional structure of molecules and solids, from single crystal samples. We can determine various structural types from small inorganic solids to small macromolecules. (see our Brochure)
