This new capability allows you to go beyond the limitations of X-ray diffraction (XRD), which requires samples greater them 1 µm.
- Directly determine 3D molecular structures of submicron crystals for the first time
- Rigaku’s high-speed, high-sensitivity photon counting detector - HyPix-ED
- JEOL’s expertise in generation and control of stable electron beams – 200 kV electron source and optics
- Rigaku’s powerful single crystal analysis software – CrysAlisPro-ED
3DED/microED is an excellent complementary technique to XRD, and the compact design of the XtaLAB Synergy-ED allows it to be easily located in laboratories alongside these instruments. Crystallographers familiar with Rigaku diffractometers running CrysAlisPRO will be able to adapt to the CrysAlisPRO-ED interface very quickly, as it is based on the same intuitive platform.
The fully integrated system incorporates a seamless workflow from data collection to structure determination of three-dimensional molecular structures. AutoChem, which is fully integrated into CrysAlisPRO, performs fast, fully automated structure solution and refinement during data collection, optimizing your productivity.
3DED/microED allows direct structural determination of sub-micron sized crystals that could only previously be postulated by techniques such as NMR. As an emerging technique, there is scope for the generation of many publications using the XtaLAB Synergy-ED.

It has been optimized for speed and accuracy, bringing lab-quality performance to the manufacturing The Miniflex XpC is an X-ray diffractometer designed specifically for quality control in cement plants and other operations requiring online process control such as pharmaceuticals and batteries. It has been optimized for speed and accuracy, bringing lab-quality performance to the manufacturing floor.
With this in mind, the MiniFlex XpC allows you to process more samples faster, and to gain greater control over your process to ensure consistent quality of your final product. The system is characterized by streamlined operation, rapid analysis with pass/fail evaluation and the ability to automate and integrate with other complementary analytical instruments. The MiniFlex XpC offers the performance level of much larger systems, in the world’s smallest footprint for an online XRD.
Features:
Analytical speed and accuracy are paramount in industrial operations. These factors have been addressed in the design of the MiniFlex XpC by using: - A newly design compact, 800 W high-flux X-ray source and power supply
- World’s largest area/high-throughput 1D detector, enabling higher-intensity data collection
- Optimized θ / θ sample geometry that maintains a horizontal sample orientation
- Streamlined user interface
- Compatibility with sample loading robots or conveyors
- Compact design that can easily be incorporated into existing operations
- A recently patented variable-width scattering slit minimizing background at lower angles
- Sample spinner that negates the effects of preferred orientation
- Uses industry standard steel ring sample holders
Streamlined Operation
In addition to sample loading automation, Rigaku has introduced EasyX, a simplified user interface that allows operators of any skill level to measure and obtain results in as few as three clicks. Built on the same comprehensive platform that underpins Rigaku’s most sophisticated XRDs like the SmartLab, EasyX provides simplified access to the functionalities required for routine QC workflows, including automated pass/fail analysis. A user-friendly graphical user interface accessible via the optional touchscreen allows simple operation of the instrument as well as interpretation of the results.
Compact Design
The MiniFlex XpC has the smallest footprint (0.9 m2) of any instrument in its class. This specification includes the touchscreen user interface.

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.
Features: - Affordable design with low operating costs
- Requires minimal training and support
- Automatic structure solution software
- Provides definitive structural information
- Ideal supplement for a NMR spectrometer
- Perfect self-serve departmental lab instrument
- Ideal teaching instrument
- Publication quality results
- Air-cooled HPC detector
- No special infrastructure required (110 VAC)
