EasySAXS

Small-angle X-ray scattering analysis made easy

Particle size distribution analysis

EasySAXS is a stand-alone, easy-to-use software package for the automated analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data from samples containing nanoparticles (such as nanopowders, nanoparticle dispersions and nanocomposites) and from porous materials. It reads in experimental data files, performs background correction, estimates particle / pore size distributions, and the surface-to-volume ratio of spherical particles. Instrumental broadening effects are taken into account. In the analysis no prior assumption about the shape of the size distribution curve is made. Complex, multimodal size distributions may thus also be revealed.

Automation

Data analysis for different types of samples is automated by a set of predefined templates, in which the sequence of optimized analysis steps is pre-programmed. A customizable analysis report containing all relevant analysis results (such as the size distribution curve, the cumulative undersize, the mean, median, R20 and R80 radii, and the relative standard deviation) is automatically created as a PDF file and the size distribution curve is exported in ASCII format.
The software can be configured to analyze single or a series of already measured experimental data sets. It can also function in a standby mode to automatically initiate evaluation of incoming data during a batch measurement.
