HighScore Plus XRD User Training USA and Canada
September 29 - Oct 1, 2026 | 9AM - 5PM Eastern | In Person
Westborough MA
About The Event
Malvern Panalytical is pleased to offer a three‑day, training course for HighScore Plus XRD users: Quantitative Phase Analysis and Rietveld Refinement. This course is focused on using whole pattern fitting techniques, such as the Rietveld method, for quantitative phase analysis (QPA) of X-ray powder diffraction data. Instruction is focused on the applications of quantitative phase analysis and amorphous quantification using advanced whole pattern fitting techniques such as the Rietveld method, PONKCS, and using batches to automate analysis. The principals of the Rietveld method explored in the class are applicable to other analyses, such as crystallite size calculations and crystal structure refinement, but these applications will not be directly taught during the live sessions. These other topics, which often interest some but not all attendees of the class, will be covered in prerecorded videos. This course assumes that you know the basics of using HighScore for phase identification (ie search-match). If you do not, it is highly recommended that you attend the “HighScore Basic XRD User Training” course. Most of the advanced techniques taught in this course require the Plus option for HighScore. A temporary copy can be provided if you do not already own HighScore Plus but please remember that you will not be able to use these capabilities in the future without the Plus option for HighScore. Complimentary breakfast snack and lunch will be provided. The customer is responsible for all other costs of hotel, transportation, and additional meals outside of what is provided. Course registration will close one week prior to the course date or as soon as the class is full. It is encouraged that participants come with questions unique to their applications. This is a popular course, please don't wait to register.
