(Windsor, ON, Friday, December 9, 2022) – An industrial partnership between PROTO Manufacturing Ltd. and the University of Windsor has resulted in the development of a cuttingedge scientific instrument for the discovery of new solid materials.
The system, called the High-Throughput Laboratory Powder Diffractometer, or LPD-HT uses x rays to rapidly test small amounts of such materials as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, minerals, and new nanomaterials.
The team, spearheaded by UWindsor chemistry and biochemistry Nick Vukotic, filed a provisional patent around the design of the new instrument in early 2022.
