Filling the Gap in the Domestic High-End Market
As the "gold standard" for material crystal structure analysis, X-ray diffractometers are widely used in high-end manufacturing fields such as semiconductor microelectronics, new energy, chemical pharmaceuticals, and functional ceramics.
According to industry data, the Chinese laboratory X-ray diffractometer market size was approximately 1 billion RMB in 2024, with the high-end market almost entirely monopolized by foreign brands from Europe and Japan.
The N3 PhiniX diffractometer, submitted by Aidu Nano for this competition, is a groundbreaking achievement addressing this industry pain point.
Dr. Liu Qian, Product Director of Aidu Nano, stated in her presentation: "Our core advantage lies in 'small size, big breakthrough'."
The project utilizes Aidu's high-performance diffractometer combined with self-developed control software and IdoSpeX© data analysis software—eliminating dependence on foreign testing solutions. Simultaneously, the company's various accessories effectively adapt to efficient testing needs, perfectly covering diverse scenarios such as quality inspection and industrial automation in universities, research institutions, and advanced manufacturing enterprises.
20 Years of Industry Experience Lays a Solid Technological Foundation
Edon Nano's technological breakthroughs are inseparable from the profound accumulation of its core team. The company was co-founded by three experts with over 20 years of experience in the X-ray diffractometer industry, and this strong team provides a solid guarantee for technological research and development and product implementation.

This award not only recognizes the team's long-term technological investment but also encourages the company to continuously promote product innovation and performance improvement in the field of structural analysis.
**Mr. Zhang Weixing, Co-founder and CTO of Aidu Nano**, stated:
**“We are very honored to receive this award. This is recognition of our team's continuous innovative efforts. In the future, we will continue to advance product development to higher standards, providing scientific research users with more reliable and user-friendly X-ray structural analysis tools.”**
**Domestic Substitution and Global Layout in Parallel**
**The judging panel for this "Innovation in Shanghai" competition consisted of experts from universities, investment institutions, and representatives from leading industry companies. The evaluation focused on technological innovation, team strength, market prospects, and business operations.** The review experts pointed out that Aidu Nano's N3 PhiniX not only broke the technological monopoly of international brands in the field of high-end diffractometers, but also filled the gap in small and medium-sized application scenarios with its "high cost-performance ratio + compact design." Relying on Songjiang's scientific and technological innovation resources and a comprehensive industry-academia-research system, it has the potential for rapid industrialization.
**Expert Commentary and Guidance from the Competition Panel**
Dr. Lin Tao, another founder, stated after the competition: "The platform provided by the competition allowed us to see market demands and industry opportunities more clearly. Next, we will optimize product scenario solutions based on expert advice, while simultaneously promoting after-sales service and core component sales. We plan to achieve localized mass production of world-class diffractometers within the next 3-5 years and gradually expand into the global market."
Aidon Nano will further leverage the resources of the "Innovation in Shanghai" competition to accelerate technology transfer and market expansion, broaden the application of domestically produced materials analysis instruments, and promote the more important position of domestically produced high-end analytical instruments in the domestic and global industrial chain.
