Scintag designs and manufacturers x-ray diffraction instruments for a variety of applications. This website gives you information about Scintag's history, products, and services. Recently, Scintag joined Applied Research Laboratories (ARL), a Thermo-Optek company with a 66 year history of technical innovation in analytical spectroscopy.
There are several possible applications for Scintag systems. A brief slideshow of some possible applications of our systems is available online. These applications include: Qualitative Phase Analysis (applicable to almost all solid materials), Quantitative Phase Analysis, Texture Analysis, Residual Stress Analysis, Non-Ambient Temperature XRD, Crystallographic Analysis, Crystallinity, High Resolution, Thin Film, Low Angle, and Retained Austinite.
Industrial applications include: Biosciences, Ceramics, Chemicals (catalysts, polymers), Geology (geological surveys, mining, museums, petroleum), Metallurgy (aluminum, automotive, steel, precious metals), Nuclear, Pharmaceuticals, and Semiconductors (chip makers, disk drives, ingots).
In 1980, Scintag pioneered the use of energy dispersive solid state detectors for x-ray diffraction applications. With the use of this detector, we developed a versatile x-ray optical design providing unprecedented resolution and data accuracy at a highly reduced acquisition time. Scintag diffractometers have a wide range of optional attachments, covering practically all known techniques of x-ray analysis.
Scintag cooperates closely with its customers in the development of practical applications which meet the special needs of the customer. Scintag application scientists are always ready to make various measurements on customer samples to demonstrate the capabilities of Scintag equipment or select the data acquisition procedures most appropriate for their needs.

Attachments and Auxiliary Components
Scintag diffraction instruments have a modular design, making it easy to expand their functionality and/or reconfigure the hardware for a different application. While the main base of the system - the goniometer and x-ray source - remains the same, all other components are optional and interchangeable. The attachments are arranged alphabetically.
Not all the attachments are mutually compatible - some of them may not be used simultaneously. Consult Scintag about compatible system configurations.

Detectors
Scintag x-ray diffractometers may be equipped with several types of x-ray detectors depending upon the requirements of the application. Solid-state Si x-ray detectors provide the best resolution at high measurement speed in x-ray powder diffraction analysis. Scintillation x-ray detectors provide the highest counting speed at a low cost. Position sensitive x-ray detectors allow for extremely fast data collection in a limited angular range, such as in stress analysis.
