How confident are you in what’s happening inside your medical devices before they reach the field?

Join us for a live webinar on Wednesday, April 29 at 1:00 PM CDT for a practical look at how X-ray computed tomography is used to inspect medical devices and healthcare products without destructive testing.

This session will explore how X-ray CT can reveal internal structures and defects that are often missed by traditional inspection methods. You’ll see real-world examples including detection of molding defects, inspection of porous and mixed‑material components, and how 3D internal data can support development, failure analysis, and quality control workflows.

Featuring Angela Criswell, with Ted Huang as co-presenter, and hosted by Katelynn Stuchlik.

If you work with medical devices, injection-molded parts, or complex assemblies and want greater confidence in your inspection decisions, this webinar is for you.

More details and the link to learn more are in the comments.

How can you ensure accurate and reliable results in XRF analysis?

Dr. Shiv Verma, XRF Application Scientist at Rigaku, shares his guidance on selecting the right standards for elemental analysis in his recent interview with AZoM. He explains the importance of matching the matrix of your standard to your sample, using certified or in-house reference materials, and periodically validating them to maintain measurement accuracy.

Read the full interview to learn more about his practical recommendations. Link in comments.

Congratulations to Professor Susumu Kitagawa on receiving the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

His pioneering work in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has transformed the landscape of structural and materials science. Professor Kitagawa’s dedication to advancing our understanding of molecular structures has long inspired the scientific community.

We are honored that Rigaku’s instruments have supported his research over the years and celebrate this remarkable recognition of his contributions to chemistry.

How can old work uniforms become a source of value for you, your community, and the planet?

At Rigaku, we believe in transforming what’s been used into something meaningful. Last year we launched an upcycling project so that uniforms that are no longer worn don’t end up as waste. Instead, they are collected, disassembled by hand, shredded, and remolded into items such as coasters, wall clocks, benches, and even signage used at every site in Japan.

For pieces that cannot be reused in that way, we convert them into Refuse Paper and Plastic Fuel (RPF). This process helps reduce CO₂ emissions by about one third compared to using coal.

This initiative matters to our customers because reducing waste means reducing the overall environmental footprint of the products you rely on. From manufacturing to shipping, every step becomes more responsible. It supports sustainable sourcing and reflects values of quality, innovation, and care for the planet.

We’ve created a page that walks through the full process and impact of this program. The link is in the comments.
