$Customizable single crystal X-ray diffractometer$ $Customizable single crystal X-ray diffractometer$

Benefits

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.

XtaLAB Synergy-Custom

One of the advantages of Rigaku's rotating anode X-ray generators is the ability to utilize both ports of the generator simultaneously. This might involve having two single crystal goniometers mounted on the generator or it might involve having one goniometer with a sample changing robot on one port dedicated to protein crystallography and a second goniometer dedicated to chemical crystallography. In order to accommodate the various configurations that a researcher might envision, Rigaku offers the XtaLAB Synergy-Custom, a system that can be configured with either a MicroMax-007 HF microfocus rotating anode source or the highest-flux in-house X-ray source, the FR-X. Additionally, the XtaLAB Synergy-Custom comes in a specially designed enclosure with your choice of table size to accommodate accessory equipment, such as an ACTOR 2 robotic system or a microscope close to the goniometer. Thus, the versatility offered by the XtaLAB Synergy-Custom system provides the most flexibility possible for your structural chemistry program.

HPC direct detection X-ray detector

XtaLAB Synergy-Custom systems are configured with a Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) X-ray detector, such as the HyPix-6000HE, the HyPix-Arc 150° or HyPix-Arc 100°. HPC detectors are ideal for difficult single crystal experiments because they are photon counting detectors that directly detect X-ray photons without the need for the intermediate step of converting X-ray photons to light with a phosphor or scintillator. As a result, HPCs have high dynamic range, fast readout speed and extremely low noise. Additionally, HPC X-ray detectors have a top-hat point spread function of a single pixel. These combined features, along with shutterless data collection, mean that you can collect more accurate diffraction data, faster. As a result, the XtaLAB Synergy-Custom systems offer outstanding performance for demanding single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.

CrysAlis^Pro

The XtaLAB Synergy-Custom comes complete with CrysAlis^Pro, our user-inspired data collection and data processing software for single crystal analysis. Designed around an easy-to-use graphical user interface, CrysAlis^Pro can be operated under fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual control. CrysAlis^Pro combines automated crystal screening, the fastest and most accurate strategy software available, concurrent data reduction and automatic small molecule structure solution. Visual feedback is provided for each step with clear, color-coded guidance so that both novices and experts can collect high-quality data in the shortest time possible. CrysAlis^Pro can operate either in a protein or small molecule dedicated workflow. Popular third-party protein data processing packages can easily process diffraction data if desired.

AutoChem

AutoChem is the ultimate productivity tool for small molecule chemists, offering fast, fully automatic structure solution and refinement during data collection. Developed in collaboration with OlexSys Ltd (Durham University, UK), AutoChem works in conjunction with Olex² where more advanced structure solution and refinement functionality exists. AutoChem is seamlessly integrated within CrysAlis^Pro, and forms an integral part of our ‘What is this?’ feature. The ‘What is this?’ feature gives you structures quickly and ensures you are not wasting time collecting full datasets on known samples or starting materials. It is an alternative pre-experiment option, which is used to plan your full data collections.

Options and Accessories

The following accessories are available for this product

ACTOR

ACTOR is a proven commercial solution for automating routine crystal screening and data collection at both synchrotron beam lines and home laboratories. Compatible with almost any goniometer and detector combination, the ACTOR eliminates much of the physical handling of samples required during crystal screening and data collection.

HyPix-Arc 150°

The HyPix-Arc 150° is an optional, unique curved Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) X-ray detector for single crystal diffraction applications.

Oxford Cryostream 1000

From its highly stable, precise temperature control to its fast cooldown time and integrated autofill, every iteration of the Cryostream has expanded the list of available features. Now, forty years since its invention, Oxford Cryosystems engineers have created the new Cryostream 1000, incorporating elegant design with a focus on reliability, simplicity and ease of use.

The latest version of the world-leading open-flow cryogenic gas cooler unifies the controller, pump and dry-air unit into a single gas supply module (GSM). This minimises the system’s overall footprint while simplifying cabling and installation and improves the user experience.

For more information please visit the Cryostream 1000 product page at Oxford Cryosystems.

Oxford Cobra

The Oxford Cobra is the non-liquid nitrogen Cryostream. Combining the efficiency of a Cryostream with the advantages of a non-liquid system, the Cobra offers the ultimate solution for both macromolecular and small molecule crystallography.

XtalCheck-S

The XtalCheck-S system includes software that facilitates both visual and diffraction imaging of crystallization experiments. With the XtalCheck-S system, one can easily survey many crystallization experiments by eliminating the need to harvest and cryo-cool samples. Moreover, one can perform serial crystallography experiments, by collecting data from multiple crystals, to achieve complete data sets that can be used for structure solution, as well as perform powder data collection from samples mounted in the crystallization wells.

EIGER 4M

The EIGER R 4M (active area: 155.2 mm x 162.5 mm, rivaling that of CCDs and imaging plate detectors) combines exceptional data collection efficiency and resolving power.
