The chemical analysis team supplies a wide range of professional and high-quality analytical services to multiple industries and sectors including research, energy, food and drink, cosmetics, healthcare, construction and environmental monitoring. Techniques range widely from standard to more specialised for problematic sample types and the chemistry used in these analyses can qualify and quantify organic and inorganic contaminants/pollutants in a variety of matrices.

XRPD can be used to quantify the proportions of different minerals or indeed, other substances, when they are present in a mixture. All XRPD methods used at the James Hutton Institute, including the quantitative methods, are UKAS accredited. This means they have been thoroughly verified, audited and checked to ensure they are robust analytical methods that give reliable results.
