SERDANG, March 2022- ION2 recently hosted an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Workshop aimed at teaching participants how to analyse powder and thin film sample data using the Smart Lab Studio II software.

Dr. Muhammad Firdaus bin Omar, Application Consultant at RGS Corporation Sdn Bhd (RGS) and Senior Lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Johor, led this two-day workshop, assisted by Ms. Shasha Ainaa Zulyazan, RGS Application Engineer.

The programme was conducted entirely in the XRD laboratory, with a small group of ION2 students and researchers as participants. All participants responded positively and participated actively in both the lecture and hands-on sessions.

Apart from tips on analysing XRD data, Dr. Firdaus, who has extensive experience with XRD, shared some tips on sample preparation and testing methods for a few different types of samples. May this workshop benefit all participants and officers involved in terms of developing their analytical skills and competencies.
