Rigaku Corporation is pleased to have announced its attendance at the 100th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition (CSC 2017), the conference is being held from May 28 to June 1, 2017 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto. Rigaku Oxford Diffraction (ROD) is representing its diverse lines of macromolecular and small molecule crystallography systems at booth 710.

CSC 2017 will showcase science from across Canada and around the world, featuring the latest innovations in research in the traditional sub-disciplines of chemistry. The event will feature plenary, invited and submitted lectures, jointly organized international symposia, poster sessions, panel discussions, and special events.

Protein CrystallographyProtein crystallization is the process of crystallizing purified proteins for 3D structure analysis by x-ray crystallography. The main methods of protein crystallization include sitting drop, hanging drop and microbatch. It is important to control parameters such as pH, temperature and concentration. Following crystallization, detectors and software are used for data collection and analysis.X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
