Our X-Ray laboratory in Houston, operated in alliance with Ellington & Associates features a state of the art, rapid turnaround Bruker-AXS D4 Endeavour Diffractometer and highly experienced interpreters. Please visit our alliance partners at www.ellingtongeologic.com for detailed information. However, in brief, the benefits of our XRD service include:
- Guaranteed high quality and precise analytical results from our Bruker-AXS D4 Endeavour Diffractometer.
- Rapid turnaround analysis times from our LynxEye Detector.
- Most advanced phase identification and quantification.
- Flexibility in our analytical procedure to meet client project requirements.
In combination, our inorganic geochemical, organic geochemical and mineralogical services can provide a comprehensive characterization for any sequence, but are particularly suited to unconventional resources, such as shale gas plays.
