X-ray diffractometer XtaLAB Synergy-ED

laboratory

A system any X-ray crystallographer will find intuitive to operate XtaLAB Synergy-ED is a new and fully integrated electron diffractometer, creating a seamless workflow from data collection to structure determination of three-dimensional molecular structures. The key feature of this product is that it provides researchers an integrated platform enabling easy access to electron crystallography. The XtaLAB Synergy-ED is a system any X-ray crystallographer will find intuitive to operate without having to become an expert in electron microscopy. The XtaLAB Synergy-ED is the result of an innovative collaboration between Rigaku and JEOL, 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. Solve the unsolvable Simply put, MicroED, also known as 3D ED, offers the chance to solve 3D structures from samples that are too small for X-ray diffraction. For X-ray crystallography, these samples would yield insufficient diffraction strength or quality to obtain a fully resolved structure. When you are faced with a sample that is tricky to crystallize, MicroED can let you shortcut the difficult process of optimizing the crystallization conditions. Instead, the technique allows you to obtain 3D data and structure from powders, whether you have a lot or just a little. The only requirements are that you have crystalline material and that the grains are below 1 micron in size.
