inXitu, Inc. Introduces Forensic Analyzer

Campbell, CA, August 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Following the introduction of its flagship field portable X-ray diffractometer, Terra, in 2009, inXitu has continued the development of this revolutionary technology for various applications. Recently, the company introduced a variation of its combined X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence product for the rapid determination of explosive compounds. In only a few minutes, the company’s product can positively identify key explosive components, such as PETN, Chlorate and Percholorate compounds using the well known technique of X-ray diffraction. An application study and report is available by contacting the company.

inXitu Inc. is a leader in portable XRD/XRF based instrumentation specializing in developing the technologies required to enable the next generation of scientific instruments used for materials analysis. The technology used in its portable rock and mineral analyzer received a prestigious R&D 100 award and was chosen to fly on the Mars Science Laboratory rover scheduled for launch in 2011.

The powder handling methods can dramatically improve the quality of XRD data while reducing the requirements for sample preparation. inXitu’s patented technique makes possible quality XRD data to be collected regardless of the grain size of the sample. Grain sizes up to 400 um have been tested producing data normally obtained with micron size particles.www.inxitu.com
