Rapid and Sensitive Analysis of Respirable Crystalline Silica with XRD

Reliable silica monitoring starts with accurate analysis.
Activities such as cutting, grinding, and processing silica-containing materials can release respirable crystalline silica (RCS) into workplace air, creating potential health risks for workers.

Join our free webinar to learn how X-ray diffraction (XRD) enables sensitive identification and quantification of crystalline silica collected on workplace air sampling filters.

Learn how Rigaku's MiniFlex 600 and SmartLab SE XRD systems, together with SmartLab Studio II software, support efficient measurements, automated analysis workflows, and the determination of detection and quantification limits.


What you’ll learn:

  • How XRD identifies and quantifies crystalline silica
  • Key capabilities of MiniFlex 600 and SmartLab SE for RCS analysis
  • How SmartLab Studio II simplifies and automates measurement and analysis
  • How dedicated software tools support LOD and LOQ determination

Who should attend?

  • Occupational hygienists and workplace health and safety professionals
  • Environmental and workplace monitoring laboratories
  • Analytical and contract laboratories
  • Laboratory managers and XRD specialists
