The latest range of Rigaku Oxford Diffraction instrument configurations for structural biology will be summarised and illustrated with a number of specific example applications.
The XtaLAB Synergy platform with sealed tube or rotating anode microfocus sources on one side of the four-circle goniometer and a series of Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) X-ray area detectors on the other, allows for versatile configurations perfectly adapted to the researcher’s needs. These systems can be supplied with the sample changing robot (XtaLAB Synergy FLOW), or further equipped with an Intelligent Goniometer Head (IGH) for automated crystal centering or the plate scanning device XtalCheck-S.
Furthermore, our X-ray diffraction instruments are complemented by the new XtaLAB Synergy-ED – a fully integrated electron diffractometer, creating a seamless workflow from data collection to structure determination of three-dimensional molecular structures. The XtaLAB Synergy-ED is the result of an innovative collaboration to synergistically combine our core technologies: Rigaku’s high-speed, high-sensitivity photon-counting detector (HyPix-ED) and state-of-the-art instrument control and single crystal analysis software platform (CrysAlisPro for ED), and JEOL’s long-term expertise and market leadership in designing and producing transmission electron microscopes.
