X-Ray Single Crystal Diffractometer
Bruker Apex Duo

X-Ray Single Crystal Diffractometer

  • Cu-radiation for absolute configuration and protein screening
  • Mo-radiation for high throughput and charge density
  • Mo-sealed tube with Triumph monochromator
  • Fast and fully-automated wavelength switch
  • Cu-IμS microfocus tube with multilayer provides up to 30 times the intensity compared to graphite monochromated sealed Cu-tube

First-time users should click here for an Introduction to Integration and here for a step-by-step guide to using the Apex-Duo.

 Rigaku R-Axis Single Crystal Diffractometer

Rigaku R-Axis Single Crystal Diffractometer 

Rapid Rigaku

  • High power rotating anodes provide high flux for shorter experiments compared to sealed tube sources
  • Mo- and Ag- radiation for high accuracy measurements, e.g. charge density analysis, and Cr- radiation for proteins and nanomaterials
  • Large, curved RAPID-II imaging plate detector for high resolution measurements [ AgKα, sin(Θmax)/λ = 1.70 Å-1, d =  0.29 Å; MoKα,sin(Θmax)/λ = 1.34 Å-1, d = 0.38 Å ]
  • Software developed in-house by Dr. Vladimir V. Zhurov for highly accurate data reduction (VIIPP) and absorption correction (CCDABS)
