2023 X-TechLab Training session
| - |
In Cotonou
An Intensive Introductory Course in X-ray Crystallography
The X-TechLab training session aims to endow the local and regional scientific communities with technical skills that will allow them to use X-ray techniques as tools for solving various problems in their specific fields.
The training session will focus on two parallel interrelated axes: single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction.
Depending on the training axis, you will acquire specific skills to be able to do the following:
- Describe the phenomenon of X-ray diffraction by crystals
- Recognize a good quality crystal
- Identify the suitable crystallization technique for a given study
- Describe the operation of a single-crystal diffractometer
- Implement a routine data collection using a single-crystal diffractometer
- Solve and refine a small-molecule single-crystal structure
- Perform sample preparation
- Describe the operation of a powder diffractometer
- Implement a routine data collection using a powder diffractometer
- Phase identification
- Quantitative analysis.
