Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

I would strongly recommend the system. It is clearly much more powerful and rapid than our previous system.

I am impressed with the instrument’s performance, and also the software. Furthermore, in my dealings with Rigaku, I have always been listened to as a customer and have received quick responses.

The new instrument has revitalized our researchers’ interest in using X-ray crystallography as a real-time tool for their science instead of an afterthought or a special circumstance.

There has been good help and advice from personnel from Rigaku Oxford Diffraction and I would definitely recommend this instrument to anyone considering making a purchase of a new diffractometer.

I would recommend the XtaLAB Synergy-S system for structural biology labs because it is very useful for checking the diffraction quality of protein crystals and allow to collect high-quality data for “non-problematic”, well-diffracting protein crystals.

The speed of data collection and ease of use has allowed our users to collect a significant number of large data sets that were not previously possible on older systems.

I would recommend the XtaLAB Synergy-S to anyone looking for a ready-to-go system built around the latest technology.

This new machine with a rotating anode generator has been a game changer for our institute. Data from good-diffracting crystals can be collected within minutes!

The machine is much faster, enabling crystals to be quickly screened to ensure only the best crystals are measured. lt permits small, less perfect crystals to be screened, as well as providing publishable results in a matter of minutes to hours for favourable specimens.

The single most important benefit that the instrument brings to the lab is the ability examine very small crystals in a short timeframe, whether that size constraint is forced upon you by the crystal availability, or whether you enforce it in order to isolate a single high-quality fragment from a larger (perhaps multiple) crystal.

We get significantly better data with the new instrument. The speed at which we can collect data and solve a structure is impressive. Now, we use fast data collections (minutes long) to work out the connectivity of the compound.

The Synergy-R is a fantastic machine and we would unconditionally recommend scheduling a demo, if your institution would like to amplify their lab's capabilities with a high-end diffractometer.

It is very common for these students to have some initial trepidation and anxiety about using valuable, high powered research equipment, but the approachability of the XtaLAB mini massively reduces this issue.

What might have started out as one of the usual diffractometer control programs, has evolved into an indispensable tool, which has the ability to obtain very good data, or better, from some of the most challenging samples.

Such is the quality of of CrysAlisᴾʳᵒ that it has allowed us to complement studies carried out on synchrotrons and even determine the existence of new crystalline phases not previously detected
