Small Molecule Diffractometers
X-Ray Single Crystal Diffractometer
Bruker Apex Duo
- 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
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)
