Actionable Mineralogy
for Modern Mining Operations
High-confidence mineralogical insight that improves performance, reduces uncertainty, and lowers operational risk. From expert interpretation of existing XRD data to high-resolution synchrotron measurements, we deliver the mineralogical clarity modern mining operations need.

Synchrotron Analysis
Synchrotron XRD allows reliable identification and quantification of minerals that cannot be resolved with conventional laboratory XRD. Short acquisition times (7–15 s per sample) make it possible to analyze large numbers of samples with high-quality results.

Phase Identification
Rapid phase identification from your existing XRD data — results in 1 business day. Flag unexpected minerals early and reduce the cost of delayed decisions. No physical sample required.
Rietveld Analysis
Quantitative mineral composition from your own XRD data by Rietveld refinement — results in 1 business day. Track flotation feed, monitor grade, and detect process drift before it affects recovery.
Research-Grade Precision, Practical Delivery
Our synchrotron analyses are performed at Swiss Light Source – one of the world's most advanced synchrotron facilities. This enables detection of trace phases, poorly crystalline minerals, and complex assemblages that remain invisible to conventional laboratory XRD.
You get research-grade measurement quality delivered as clear, interpreted mineralogy tailored to your specific objectives.
Reducing risk across the mining value chain
Exploration
Detailed mineralogical analysis for early-stage samples — accurate phase quantification, crystallinity assessment, and trace-level detection. Synchrotron measurement for complex phases, or rapid screening from your existing XRD data.
Process Monitoring
Fast, consistent mineralogical data to support operational decisions. Ready-to-use results within one business day from your raw XRD file — ideal for routine monitoring, flotation tracking, and quality control.
Residue Analysis
Quantitative analysis of tailings and concentrates to clarify residual mineral content and assess recovery potential. Synchrotron analysis available for complex or poorly crystalline phases.

How It Works
1
Tell us what you're working on
Every project starts with a conversation. What do you need to find out about your material? We listen, ask questions, and figure out together which analysis approach fits your situation.
2
Send data or samples
XRD analysis: Send your raw data files in any format — no preprocessing needed. Synchrotron analysis: Send ground samples and we handle beamtime and preparation.
3
We do the analysis
Phase identification, Rietveld quantification, or synchrotron SR-XRD — depending on what your project needs. We don't just run the numbers. We interpret the mineralogy in the context of your specific question.
4
Clear results, real answers
You get a report that connects the mineralogy directly to what you asked. Phase lists, quantitative breakdowns, written interpretation — everything you need to make your next decision.
