Automated Multipurpose X‑ray Diffractometer that Guide You Through Measurements

Multipurpose X-ray Diffractometer (XRD): SmartLab

Rigaku SmartLab powered by SmartLab Studio II software is an award-winning automated multi-purpose XRD designed for ultimate ease of use:

  • Even for the most complex measurements, all you need to do is tell the SmartLab Studio II Guidance software what you want to analyze.
  • The intelligent software combined with the hardware configuration sensors and automatic optics and sample alignment functions guide you through from hardware configuration to obtaining high-quality data.
  • The SmartLab can measure powder, liquid, bulk, or thin film samples.
  • The SmartLab is highly configurable, with a wide variety of in-situ and operando attachments, 3 or 9-kW X-ray sources, and 0D, 1D, and 2D compatible detectors, supporting high-throughput screening to advanced research.
  • CFR Part 11, GMP, ASTM E975, and other regulations and standards are supported.

What our customers are saying about their user experiences

  • I'd strongly recommend the system: it truly is easy to get to grips with, even for a non-specialist. The software guidance and simple hardware fittings are a game-changer for hands-on use.

  • Big advantage of SmartLab is in simple and rapid change between individual diffractometer configurations followed by automated and reliable optics and sample alignments. This possibility together with high photon flux of rotating anode source significantly increased the throughput of our laboratory, increased the number of measured samples together with the high quality of measured data.

  • The big advantages of the instrument are especially the in-plane arm, allowing for non-coplanar X-ray diffraction measurements without tilting the sample, and easy procedures for X-ray optics exchange and realignment.
