2024: let´s celebrate 60 years of XRD
Driving Non-Ambient XRD with XRDynamic 500 – 60 Years of XRD at Anton Paar
In 2024, we’re celebrating 60 years of XRD at Anton Paar.
By introducing the first non-ambient XRD instrument back in 1964, we set a new standard for the study of structural changes in materials under non-ambient conditions. 60 years later, with the broadest portfolio of high-quality instruments on the market and thousands of users in the field, we’re the proud market leader in non-ambient XRD instrumentation. In addition, we expanded our X-ray analysis portfolio with a range of products, including X-ray sources, optics, and, most recently, XRDynamic 500, our automated multipurpose powder X-ray diffractometer.
Let’s celebrate this anniversary year together.
Setting A New Benchmark in High-Temperature XRD Environmental Heating
Perfectly in time for this special anniversary, Anton Paar is proud to announce the launch of the HTK 1500 High-Temperature Chamber, the new benchmark in environmental heaters for high-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The HTK 1500 allows for homogeneous heating of all types of sample materials, including crystalline powders and bulk samples up to 1,500 °C. This makes it the only true environmental heater available on the market that reaches such high temperatures without any compromises in precision.

Impressions from XRD excites 2024: Non-Ambient XRD & Beyond!
One of the highlights of our anniversary year was XRD excites 2024, an international scientific symposium focused on topics around non-ambient XRD and beyond. The symposium was held at the Graz University of Technology in Graz, Austria, from July 9 to July 11, 2024, and was attended by more than 90 participants from 20 countries.

Anton Paar Wiki pages
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
X-ray diffraction is an important non-destructive analysis method to study a huge variety of materials. Some of its most important applications are phase identification and quantification, microstructure analysis, and crystal structure analysis, amongst many others. Get an introduction to the technique here.
Non-ambient X-ray diffraction
Varying non-ambient parameters (temperature, pressure, atmosphere, humidity,…) adds a further dimension into your XRD experiment as materials of any kind tend to change their chemical and physical behavior under varying conditions.
SAXS nanostructure analysis
SAXS is a non-destructive method for investigating nanostructured samples, for example proteins, macromolecules, or nanoparticle dispersions. The technique requires practically no sample preparation and therefore analyzes a material in its original state.
