Product news

Rigaku Corporation will be presenting its diverse range of X-ray analytical instrumentation at the 2017 American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Annual Convention & Exhibition (ACE) taking place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, April 2-6, 2017.

X-ray analysis techniques are routinely employed in geological research. Rigaku offers solutions suitable for a range of applications in geology and petroleum and petrochemicals, including a complete range of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments and components for the determination of composition of geological materials and elemental analysis of crude oil and petroleum products. Rigaku will represent its lines of benchtop X-ray diffraction and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometers at Booth # 1415.

On display at the exhibition will be the fifth generation Rigaku MiniFlex benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument. The MiniFlex is a general purpose X-ray diffractometer that can perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of polycrystalline materials. Ideally suited for fast-paced XRD analyses, the MiniFlex delivers speed and sensitivity through innovative technology enhancements, such as the optional D/teX high speed detector coupled with the new higher power X-ray source and a state-of-the-art graphite monochromator paired with a standard scintillation counter to maximize sensitivity by optimizing signal-to-noise ratios.

MiniFlex Benchtop XRD

Rigaku Corporation

New 6th-generation general purpose benchtop XRD system for phase identification and phase quantification. New sixth generation MiniFlex X-ray diffractometer (XRD) is a multipurpose analytical instrument that can determine: phase identification and quantification, percent (%) crystallinity, crystallite size and strain, lattice parameter refinement, Rietveld refinement, and molecular structure. It is widely used in research, especially in material science and chemistry, as well as in industry for research and quality control. It is the newest addition to MiniFlex series of benchtop X-ray diffraction analyzers from Rigaku, which began with the introduction of the original MiniFlex system decades ago.   Overview: New 6th generation design Compact, fail-safe radiation enclosure Incident beam variable slit Simple installation and user training Factory aligned goniometer system Laptop computer operation Measurements: Phase identification Phase quantification Percent (%) crystallinity Crystallite size and strain Lattice parameter refinement Rietveld refinement Molecular structure Options: 8-position autosampler Graphite monochromator D/teX Ultra: silicon strip detector HyPix-400 MF: 2D HPAD detector Air sensitive sample holder Travel case

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.

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.
