Software Overview

JADE Standard is a cost-effective XRD software solution offering essential tools for material analysis, without the burden of annual updates or renewal fees. It’s available in three flexible levels to fit your lab’s needs:

• Level 1: Base features
• Level 2: Add either Phase Identification (S/M) or WPF + Rietveld refinement
• Level 3: Includes both Phase ID and WPF + Rietveld

All levels come with powerful simulation and 3D visualization tools, allowing users to simulate powder patterns, build custom databases, and interact with 3D structures to better understand materials. JADE Standard is ideal for routine analysis and teams seeking a reliable, budget-friendly alternative to more advanced software.

Key Points
