Retsch® XRD-Mill McCrone, 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz

The XRD-Mill McCrone is a specialized ball mill designed specifically for sample preparation for X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. This mill is optimized to produce micronized, homogenous powders without altering the crystalline structure of the material — a critical factor for accurate XRD results.

Featuring a vibratory grinding motion and forty-eight cylindrical grinding elements, the XRD-Mill McCrone ensures efficient, gentle, and highly reproducible grinding of brittle materials. It’s ideal for analytical labs in geology, cement, ceramics, mineralogy, and materials science where precision sample prep is essential.

Key Features:

• Grinding Principle: Gentle vibratory milling with friction and impact
• Grinding Elements: 48 cylindrical zirconium oxide or agate elements
• Sample Volume: Typically, up to 10 g
• Final Fineness: <10 µm (dependent on material)
• Applications: Preparation of samples for X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and other analytical techniques
• Material Compatibility: Brittle, crystalline solids such as minerals, cement, and ceramics
• Features:
• Preserves crystal lattice for accurate diffraction analysis
• Short grinding times with excellent reproducibility
• Easy to clean and maintain
• Construction: Robust, compact benchtop design for laboratory environments
• Ideal For: Academic and industrial labs requiring high-precision sample prep for powder diffraction
