High pressure and temperature
Advanced materials X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a primary analytical technique, that is used in conjunction with a diamond anvil cell (DAC), to examine the behavior of materials under extreme pressure and temperature. Rigaku offers a laboratory system that offers a variety of benefits relative to competing systems, or the use of a synchrotron, to collect this data. Such a home laboratory instrument offers a degree of experimental flexibility that is largely unavailable at a synchrotron due to their typical time limit constraints. Having a home lab XRD/DAC system means that experiments can be conducted on the researcher's schedule without concern for either contamination of third-party facilities or restrictions associated with shipping restricted materials to, or using restricted materials at, a synchrotron beamline. Rigaku technology and expertise provide a number of unique solutions for these determinations.
