A wide number of materials are able to form crystals – such as sodium chloride, diamonds, and nucleic acids. These crystals each can cause a beam of incident x-rays to diffract (x-ray diffraction) into distinct directions and by measuring the intensities and angles of the diffracted beam, the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal can be determined. This method is known as X-ray crystallography or XRC.
X-ray crystallography can be used to determine the length of chemical bonds, the size of atoms and has been used to determine the structure and function of numerous biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, vitamins, and proteins. Today, x-ray diffraction has applications in a variety of disciplines such as chemical, biochemical, material, physical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Customized Single Crystal Diffraction System With Microfocus Rotating Anode Generator
Features:
- Ultimate flexibility with customized X-ray system specifically tailored to the needs of your research. Dual ports allow for various combinations of crystallography and SAXS configurations. Your choice of VariMax™ confocal double-bounce optics for better spectral purity and beam size to match your sample types.
-
Faster, accurate data collection due to high-speed kappa goniometer, high-flux rotating anode X-ray source, fast, low-noise X-ray detector, and highly optimized instrument control software.
-
Improve your ability to investigate small samples due to the increased flux from the rotating anode X-ray source as well as the extreme low noise of the HyPix X-ray detectors. Noise-free images mean you can count longer for weakly diffracting crystals without a loss in data quality arising from detector noise.
-
Screen crystals in situ with optional XtalCheck crystallization plate screening device.
-
Enhance your ability to resolve large unit cells, twins or incommensurate lattices when you select the optional motorized variable beam slit in order to alter divergence to adapt the source to your sample’s requirements.

The Rigaku XtaLAB mini II benchtop X-ray crystallography system, is a compact single crystal X-ray diffractometer designed to produce publication-quality 3D structures. The perfect addition to any synthetic chemistry laboratory, the XtaLAB mini II Benchtop small molecule structure determination
The Rigaku XtaLAB mini II benchtop X-ray crystallography system, is a compact single crystal X-ray diffractometer designed to produce publication-quality 3D structures. The perfect addition to any synthetic chemistry laboratory, the XtaLAB mini II will enhance research productivity by offering affordable structure analysis capability without the necessity of relying on a departmental facility. With the XtaLAB mini II, you no longer have to wait in line to determine your structures. Instead your research group can rapidly analyze new compounds as they are synthesized in the lab.
Teach diffraction through hands-on experience -
In many universities, the departmental X-ray diffractometer is considered off limits to students because of fear that the instrument might be damaged by inexperienced users. The XtaLAB mini II provides the opportunity for students to learn single crystal analysis by actually using a diffractometer. This is not a black box instrument. Rather, the important step of mounting a crystal on the goniometer and physically centering the crystal in the position of the X-ray beam, ensures that students learn the importance of mounting techniques and crystal selection. The simple design of the XtaLAB mini II minimizes the danger of students damaging the system.
Reduced size does not mean reduced data quality -
The Rigaku XtaLAB mini II is a research grade chemical crystallography instrument that sits on the benchtop. No data quality compromises, no extended collection times. Results delivered are unambiguous. X-ray tube lifetime is extended by running at 600 W. To compensate for running at a lower power, a SHINE optic (special curved monochromator) is utilized to produce usable X-ray flux comparable to a standard X-ray system.
Dedicated to producing publication quality structures -
The chief design requirement when creating the XtaLAB mini II was that the structures produced would be publishable in the most demanding scientific journals. The HPC detector is positioned so that the maximum 2θ value is well outside of the Acta Cryst. requirements. The software provides all the tools you need to generate publication quality data that can be used to determine 3D structures from a variety of structure analysis packages.
