Bruker D8 VENTURE
Bruker AXS

The Bruker D8 VENTURE is a highly flexible, modular SC-XRD instrument with plenty of space for a second source and further upgrades in future as your needs change.

Looking for something more compact? The D8 QUEST has a single source and a smaller footprint.

Benefits

Modular system

With best-in-class components

Spacious enclosure

Easy access, with room to expand in future

Flexible experiments

Can be configured for any SC-XRD application

Samples are visible

And easy to access

Details

Dual Wavelength

The D8 VENTURE combines two X-ray sources with a highly accurate goniometer and a PHOTON 100 CMOS detector for crystallography. This results in a highly versatile SC-XRD instrument, with fast, fully automated wavelength switching.

Mo- and Cu-radiation

Perform charge density experiments and protein screening on a single instrument. Acquire high resolution data quickly with Mo-radiation, and determine absolute structures for light atom organic compounds with Cu-radiation.

Mo- and Ag-radiation

For solid state chemistry: high flux density Mo-radiation for routine crystallography and Ag-radiation for charge density experiments to even smaller d-spacing, reduced absorption and improved diamond anvil cell (DAC) high pressure experiments.

  • Improved twin handling of up to eight domains with excellent graphical feedback and straightforward twin law determination.
  • New model refinement plug-in for interactive visualisation of 3D structures including electron density and difference density maps.
  • Autostructure automatically delivers the completely correct structure in 87% of cases.
  • XRD2 Routine collects powder data from capillary and flat samples.

PHOTON III Detector

PHOTON III Detector

The largest photon-counting pixel array detector available for the home laboratory.

Conventional photon counting detectors (eg HPC and HPADs) suffer from poor linearity and limited count rate for strong reflections, which reduce data quality. PHOTON III is the first pixel array detector with mixed mode detection: simultaneous photon counting and charge integration. Detector noise is eliminated, with the highest linearity, together with the best possible sensitivity and dynamic range, for both strong and weak reflections. With no gaps and no charge sharing, the PHOTON III delivers the ultimate data quality.

The active area is tailored for the best performance in your application. Two sizes are available:

  • 140 × 100 mm2 active area
  • 140 × 200 mm2 active area – the largest available for the home lab

Technical Details

PHOTON III detector

  • Mixed mode technology for high data quality

PHOTON II detector with CPAD technology

  • Largest monolithic active area of any pixel array
  • No gaps due to the single wafer-scale silicon sensor
  • Excellent sensitivity over a wide energy range (Cu Kα to In Kα radiation)
  • Single-photon sensitivity
  • No charge sharing effects, zero counting losses
  • 3 year warranty
