Crystalline structural analysis with high-throughput X-ray powder diffraction

We are enthusiastic to announce the first industrial use by Novitom of the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗫-𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗫𝗥𝗣𝗗) 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 at 𝗘𝗦𝗥𝗙. Further, we have used it for non-standard powders as samples were metals’ sheets ! X-ray diffraction provides valuable insights into the crystalline structure, phase composition, and purity of

Anti-aging skincare seen through collagen fibres organisation

Novitom has developed an original test based on the analysis of the quality of the organisation of collagen fibres. Collagen, which is the main constituent of the dermis, largely determines its flexibility during aging. Two techniques are combined: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides spectacular images of the fibres in varying
