Service X-ray structure determination is a very powerful non-destructive analytical technique that provides structural information on length scales from microns down to the atomic level. Due to the enormous developments in the last years, X-ray structure determination can be done almost as a standard analysis. We offer the complete analysis and interpretation of your crystalline substances at our state of the art facility.

The SuperNova single crystal diffraction instrument (Rigaku Oxford Diffraction) is equipped with two micro focus X-ray sources. Both, copper and molybdenum X-ray sources are available. Thus, the most adequate radiation for heavy or light atom containing small molecules can be applied at the same sample without remounting, enabling a fast and most suitable diffraction. The self-optimizing S2 CCD detector provides a combination of high intensity, fast, and large active area detection permitting rapid data collection. The installed Oxford Cryostream Cooler facilitates low temperature experiments (100 K) in a superior laminar flow syste, meaning virtually zero risk of icing.
