Welcome to the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A & M University. We are a full service X-ray Diffraction laboratory offering state of the art instrumentation for the analysis of solid materials. Our services include single-crystal and powder diffraction for Chemistry, Material Sciences and Pharmaceuticals. We are staffed by trained Ph.D. scientists who employ the most up to date diffraction and X-ray techniques. Please feel free to contact us about your diffraction needs.
Help with your structures is available, but we will need some information first.
Reservation account will be granted after all safety training has been completed. Contact Us for more informationSingle-Crystal and X-ray Powder Diffractometery

Our Mission
The purpose of our laboratory is to provide X-ray diffraction analysis to the Texas A & M University
system and to educate our students in the science of Crystallography. Our main focus is to determine molecular structure
from single-crystal samples and to perform high resolution X-ray powder diffraction. We provide services to outside users.
We are a full service facility, able to determine the three dimensional structure of molecules and solids, from single
crystal samples. We can determine various structural types from small inorganic solids to small macromolecules
