Rigaku SmartLab® is the newest and most novel
high-resolution X-ray diffractometer (XRD) available today. Perhaps its
most novel feature is the new SmartLab Studio II software,
which provides the user with an intelligent User Guidance expert system
functionality that guides the operator through the intricacies of each
experiment. It is like having an expert standing by your side.
XRD engineered for performance
This new X-ray diffraction system features the PhotonMax high-flux 9
kW rotating anode X-ray source coupled with a HyPix-3000
high-energy-resolution 2D multidimensional semiconductor detector that
supports 0D, 1D and 2D measurement modes, allowing all applications to
be handled with a single detector, eliminating the inconvenience of
preparing and switching individual detectors for different applications.
The HyPix-3000 detector can be used to obtain 2D powder diffraction
patterns, which can be processed to deliver superior qualitative
analysis by using all the 2D pattern information. The system
incorporates a high-resolution θ/θ closed loop goniometer drive system
with an available in-plane diffraction arm. The system’s new
Cross-Beam-Optics (CBO) family feature fully automated switchable
reflection and transmission optics (CBO-Auto).
XRD designed for usability
Coupling a computer controlled alignment system with a fully
automated optical system, and the User Guidance functionality within the
SmartLab Studio II software, makes it easy to switch between hardware
modes, ensuring that your hardware complexity is never holding back your
research.
XRD that is functionality redefined
Whether you are working with thin films, nanomaterials, powders, or
liquids the SmartLab will give you the XRD functionality to make the
measurements you want to make when you want to make them. The equipment
accepts powder, liquid, films, and even textile samples and allows
mapping measurements within suitable samples. Operando (a.k.a., real time in-situ)
measurements can be performed with the new Rigaku SmartLab Studio II
software suite, which is an integrated software platform incorporating
all functions from measurement to analysis. The system also features
robust security and validation protocols to ensure that any technology
component - software or hardware - fulfills its purpose within
regulatory guidelines, including 21 CFR Part 11, establishing the US EDA
regulations governing electronic records and electronic signatures
(ER/ES).
