DATE: November 21-22, 2024
VENUE: Department of Chemistry,
The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda,
Vadodara, India
In collaboration with
International Center for Diffraction data (ICDD),
Philadelphia, USA and
Vivertana Distributors Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore
The (PXRD-PA) workshop is designed to initiate awareness in the utility and functionality of the ICDD
database and accompanying software (Jade Pro) for participants interested in PXRD and Its relevance in
pharmaceutical sciences. It typically includes a two day workshop, involving several sessions focused on
practical applications of X-ray analysis in the study of pharmaceutical materials.
The PXRD-PA will be highly interactive, combining lectures with hands-on sessions where participants will
solve problems ranging from basic to advanced, reinforcing key concepts. The PXRD-PA will cover both
data mining using the ICDD PDF-5 and methods of analysis embodied in ICDD PDF-5 Sieve+
and ICDD MDI software.
Hands on access to PDF 5+ and Jade Pro will be available through remote desktop server via web access,
Attendees should bring their laptop computer with wireless web access (Edge, Chrome, Firefox).
Note: Mac laptop (macOS) users should have Windows emulator installed.
The first day of the workshop will present the PDF-5 databases, database overview, features, datamining
capabilities and Sieve+ for phase identification and quantification (RIR method).
The second day will be qualitative and quantitative XRD analyses (Rietveld)using MDI software.
In addition, materials characterization using the JADEPro Toolkit features will be demonstrated.
The PDF-5+ database and JADE Pro software will be accessible through a remote desktop server for a
period of 3 weeks after the workshop.
