New X-Ray Benchtop Technology

Watch this interview to learn more about the new X-Ray benchtop solutions from Rigaku. Keisuke Saito, Rigaku, highlights the cutting edge MiniFlex 600 and the Supermini systems. The Supermini measures powders and liquids and does not require any cooling devices. These products have low energy consumption and a small footprint. Interview filmed by SelectScience at ACHEMA 2012.

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
