The ARL EQUINOX 3000 - an entry-level full-scale laboratory instrument - uses a 3 kW generator, which powers a long, fine focus X-Ray tube that is connected to both focal or parabolic mirror optics or a Ge (111) monochromator, which offers Kα radiation with the highest flux or brilliant Kα1 radiation, which is ideal for the high resolution.

Measurements are needed at very low (<1° 2θ) diffraction angles, which is facilitated by the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ EQUINOX 3000. The direct measurement of structural arrangement and pore size is made possible by utilizing X-Ray diffraction (XRD).
Recently, it has been hypothesized by various studies that such materials could even be used as a system support material in drug delivery. The pores range from 2 to 6.5 nm and MCM-41 has been applied within catalyst applications as an adsorbent for the treatment of wastewater for chemical reactions. Two of the most widely used mesoporous materials made from silica are MCM-41 and MCM-48.

ARL EQUINOX 3000 X-ray diffractometer. Though the most widely used material is mesoporous carbon, these types of materials have also found application as catalysts or catalyst supports. Sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific - Elemental Analyzers and Phase Analyzers Reviewed by Olivia FrostĪ class of materials with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nm, mesoporous materials are formed by a matrix that is typically created with amorphous silica, alumina, or transition metal oxides.
