Kapton/Stainless Steel Plates and Kapton/Anodized Aluminum Plates
Kapton, also known as Polyimide (PI), is a durable polymer with excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance. Analytical has combined Kapton with stainless steel and anodized aluminum and created plates that are ideally suited to support XRD, crystallization, and physical characterization experiments.

Benefits in XRD and Crystallization
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify the atomic and molecular structure of a sample. In XRD experiments, the sample is subjected to X-rays, which diffract at specific angles depending on the crystal lattice structure of the material. Kapton plates are essential because they provide a stable surface that won’t interfere with the diffraction results, ensuring accurate analysis. For crystallization, these plates offer a chemically inert surface, making them ideal for growing and analyzing crystal structures, essential in pharmaceutical research and drug development.
