Panalytical Empyrean Diffractometer

Powder X-Ray Diffractometer

– Empyrean X-ray tube with Cu X-ray radiation.
– Hybrid PIXel 1D detector provides a small pixel size, zero background, and high dynamic range comparable to a hybrid detector.
– PreFIX (pre-aligned fast interchangeable X-ray modules) allow for flexible and fast diffraction experiments suited for a variety of experiment conditions (air-sensitive, variable temperature, high-pressure).
– HighScorePlus Software is available for all data analysis needs.


Panalytical Zetium Spectrometer

X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

– High-capacity sample bed with a high-speed sample changer and continuous loading, ideal for high sample throughput.
– The 4 kW SST R-mAX50 Rh tube with CHI-BLUE coating delivers superior light-element excitation, without sacrificing robustness.
– A combination of flat, curved and multi-layer crystals for enhanced sensitivity across the periodic table provides calibration standards for the analysis of RoHS elements and petroleum products.


Rigaku SuperNova X-ray Diffractometer

– Dual micro-focus X-ray sources (Cu and Mo).
– Four wheel goniometer in kappa geometry.
– Atlas CCD detector.
– Low-temperature Oxford Cryostream 700 adapter capable of temperature in the range of 80-400K.
