Soil, rock and mineral samples, and many synthetic inorganic materials, can be analysed for their mineralogy/phase identification on a Rigaku Miniflex 600 X-Ray Powder Diffractometer system. It is possible to provide quantitative results for common mineral assemblages and these are calculated using the Siroquant software (a Rietveld analysis using the ICDD database).
