Hi, is there a way to transform .cif and .str file to .cel or .txt (that can be read in PCW) software?

I like PCW and profex as they are free softwares. It would be great to put the cif, and str files together with my samples to better identify. I work with XRD applied to mineralogy. Thanks!

Dirk Breitkreutz

Dear Carla,

Just one suggestion, I assume in the exosome fraction microRNAs are considerably enriched in comparison to cerebrospinal fluid. Good luck, Dirk

Carla Divieto

Dear Dirk,

thank you veru much.

I have read about this but your suggestion makes me more confident about it.

Best regards,

Carla
