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.

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.
Online Quality Control
A newly developed sample loader makes the MiniFlex XpC ideal for QC operations. For applications with higher-throughput levels, the system can be integrated with a sample loading robot or a conveyor....
