“The N8 HORIZON follows the Bruker philosophy of combining high technical sophistication with ease-of-use, and brings SAXS beyond the expert level into the standard laboratory. SAXS is a key method for characterising nano-materials in their native environment, or under non-ambient conditions. It provides global, statistically relevant insights into the 3-dimensional nano-structural properties of new materials like catalysts, liquid crystals, etc. Moreover, SAXS is non-destructive and requires virtually no sample preparation that could influence the sample properties.”
Dr. Geert Vanhoyland, SAXS Product Manager, Bruker

Benefits of SAXS

Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is a truly non-destructive method for characterising nanostructures. It is complementary to other techniques, such as electron microscopy and AFM.

SAXS provides global, statistically relevant insights into the 3D3-dimensional nanostructural properties of the whole structure in its native environment. The sample is placed in the X-ray beam as is – there’s no need for any laborious sample preparation that may alter its structure or properties.
