Aeris

Why XRD?

Measuring phase fractions with XRD helps monitor and control the mineralogical composition of alternative fuels, raw meal, clinker, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and cement, and enables clear detection of:

• Variations in clinker mineralogy
• Free lime content
• Polymorphic forms
• Amorphous phases in blended green cement
• Changes during cement hydration

These insights help optimise kiln operation, ensuring consistent product quality while maintaining stable process performance.

Why Aeris?

Low cost of ownership
Made in the Netherlands, the easy-to-use benchtop Aeris XRD offers low energy consumption and requires minimal maintenance, resulting in a low cost of ownership.

Quality results, high throughput
Aeris provides close to floor-standing data quality with a compact footprint and automation options. Using the High-Capacity Sample Changer or belt integration gives ultimate sample loading flexibility with minimal user intervention required.

Ready for harsh environments
100% external sample loading minimizes dust ingress, protecting the instrument’s most valuable components and maximizing uptime.

Why XRD?

XRD is essential in identifying and quantifying solid-state-forms of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), including crystalline polymorphs, hydrates, and amorphous phases. These forms influence drug stability, solubility, and bioavailability.

XRD can also be used for quality control purposes, helping to detect crystalline or amorphous impurities, phase transitions, and batch-to-batch variability in both APIs and formulations.

Why Aeris?

Higher quality powder data

Aeris offers low-noise, high-resolution, and truly reproducible XRD measurements in both reflection and transmission modes. Aeris’s high sensitivity helps you identify potential contamination, enhancing product quality and minimizing risks.

Robust method development with HighScore

When combined with HighScore software, Aeris allows users to handle a wide range of analytical tasks, including:

• Phase identification
• Phase quantification (single to multiple phases)
• Testing limits of detection
• Crystallinity determination

Why XRD?

Use XRD to optimize beneficiation, sintering, smelting, refining, and heat-treatment processes by monitoring mineral and phase transformations. As well as helping you spot desirable phases, Aeris XRD excels at identification of unwanted phases before they become downstream issues.

Why Aeris?

Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments
Minimal support infrastructure helps ensure maximum uptime when it matters most. External sample loading reduces the likelihood of contamination, protecting your instrument’s most valuable components.

Automation enables high-throughput analysis
Aeris can be connected with a High-Capacity Sample Changer, belt, or robot for fast and automated sample processing with minimal human intervention required. If you’re already using Zetium XRF analysis, then our Twin Solution offers a convenient setup to maximize your efficiency and better understand your metals.

Real-time analysis shortens your feedback loop
Rapid results, with measurements often taking less than 5 minutes, allows you to gather feedback on your processes as they’re happening, enabling real-time optimization.

Why XRD?

Readily measure crystalline quality and defects in electrode materials to gain key insights into ion transport and energy capacity of battery systems.

Whether you want to evaluate crystallite size to determine if your cathode material is single- or poly-crystalline, better understand the degree of graphitization in synthetic graphite, or perform in-operando XRD on coin and single-layer pouch cells, Aeris has you covered.

Why Aeris?

Minor phase detection
Thanks to its 340 eV resolution 1Der detector, Aeris offers low background signals for samples containing battery elements such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, and iron, helping you detect minor phase changes induced by electrochemical reactions.

From materials to cells, you can analyze it all
A diverse range of sample mounting options allows for routine measurement of powder materials, slurries, coated electrodes, and coin or pouch cells.

Rapid, high-throughput analysis
Sub-5-minute analysis times ensure rapid feedback loops, enabling high-throughput quality control in research and development environments. Take advantage of Aeris’s High-Capacity Sample Changer or belt integration for a highly automated solution requiring minimal user intervention.
