Past Rigaku Webinars

This webinar will focus on the important factors that affects the measurement conditions which highlights sample preparation, effect of atmosphere, selecting the appropriate sample pan, how heating or cooling rate affects the analysis results and other relevant factors. In addition to our instrumentation, we will also showcase a wide array of options that will facilitate your ease of measurement.

This webinar is a beginner’s course. The presentation will focus on basic principles of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), structural difference between DTA and DSC, as well as optimizing measurement conditions for DSC measurements. During the presentation, we will also highlight several applications including recent developments in DSC instrumentation.

This webinar will discuss basics of X-ray computed tomography and how to apply X-ray CT methods to soft materials. Additionally, we will show 3D imaging results for pharmaceuticals, foams, composites and other soft material.

We invite you to view this short video about the Rigaku nano3DX X-ray microscope for microtomography of large samples at high resolution in advance of the webinar.

This webinar will discuss X-ray diffraction and scattering techniques and how to apply them to battery research. Techniques to be discussed will include operando measurement, bond valence sum from Rietveld refinement and pair distribution function (PDF).  We invite you to view this short video about the Rigaku SmartLab X-ray Diffractometer with intelligent guidance in advance of the webinar.

The webinar will focus on the most common thermal analysis methods of STA, standard DSC and Modulated DSC; Here, we will briefly explain the principles, measurement procedures and applications in these methods. After the seminar, we will give a live demonstration on sample preparation such as powder, pellet and sheet samples.

The features and the applications of TG-MS and TG-FTIR will be introduced as well as brief explanation on the effectiveness of evolved gas analysis and how they complement each other.

This webinar, conducted in English, will focus on the most common thermal analysis methods, TG-DTA and DSC, and will briefly explain the principles, measurement procedures and applications. Thirty- minute lecture followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.

The School starting June 1^st is now over subscribed and we are no longer taking new registrations. Please join the July edition of this school instead.

A lot of younger members of the scientific community will be missing out on some opportunities to learn crystallography at schools and conferences this summer, so you are invited to a series of ten tuition-free 1-hour webinars on practical aspects of X-ray crystallography. The majority of the time will be spent on small molecule crystallography, but we will also air sessions on macromolecular crystallography and powder diffraction. This is a great opportunity for people who are interested in crystallography to gain a basic foundation of single crystal analysis from a practical point of view.
