X-ray diffraction (XRD) allows one to ascertain the molecular structure of a crystalline material by diffracting X-rays through the sample. An XRD analyzer obtains interference patterns reflecting lattice structures by varying the angle of incidence of the X-ray beam. Thus, the precision, speed of rotation, and beam size of the X-rays become important parameters by which to judge products. Benchtop XRD can be targeted for single crystal diffraction for imaging lattices; powder diffraction for phase determination; identifying unfamiliar substances for use in inspection, crystallography, and pharmaceutical research correlating crystal structures with drug efficacy. X-ray generators can reach 18 KW in power and detectors typically come as compound silicon arrays, Peltier-Cooled, Silicon Drift, or Scintillation Counter variants. Software targeted for specific XRD applications is available for upgrade in some analyzer models.

| Description | The XtaLAB Synergy-ED is the world’s first 3DED/microED (3D Electron Diffraction/micro Electron Diffraction) system and the successful culmination of a joint development project between Rigaku and JEOL. 3DED/microED allows crystallographers to probe the structure of crystals and The XtaLAB Synergy-ED is the world’s first 3DED/microED (3D Electron Diffraction/micro Electron Diffraction) system and the successful culmination of a joint development project between Rigaku and JEOL. 3DED/microED allows crystallographers to probe the structure of crystals and nanocrcrystals as small as tens of nanometers, opening up many new possibilities. 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.

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.
