Efficiency Solutions for Crystallography
Single-Crystal X-ray Diffractometers for High Performance with Low Maintenance
Our Efficiency Solutions for Crystallography feature the IμS 3.0 microfocus X-ray source built specifically for crystallography to deliver efficient performance without compromising on reliability.
Choose between Ag, Mo or Cu radiation.
Compared with conventional microfocus source technology, the IμS 3.0 microfocus X-ray source delivers significantly increased X-ray intensity at the sample position, enabling shorter measurement times and improved data quality - particularly for small or weakly diffracting crystals. The microfocus sealed-tube ensures excellent stability, long lifetime and low maintenance requirements.
Our Efficiency Class single-crystal X-ray diffractometers are available built to your specification or as a pre-configured flagship solution - the D8 QUEST GX.
Choosing the Right Wavelength for Your Application
Our Efficiency Solutions can be equipped with either a silver (Ag), molybdenum (Mo) or copper (Cu) radiation source.
The optimal X‑ray wavelength for your research depends strongly on your applications, including crystal size and quality, sample composition and absorption behavior.
For help in choosing the right wavelength, view our "which wavelength?" guide or contact a Bruker expert.
D8 QUEST GX: Chemical Crystallography Made Effortless
The D8 QUEST GX is the flagship configuration of our Efficiency Solutions for single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It is a compact, walk‑up system designed to deliver fast, reliable results every day.
Optimized for Research and Service Laboratories
The D8 QUEST GX is ideal for chemistry and materials research laboratories and crystallographic service facilities that require reliable, routine single-crystal X-ray diffraction using an instrument with a compact footprint.
This configuration of the D8 QUEST supports a wide range of applications, from standard structure determination to more demanding measurements on small or weakly diffracting crystals, making it suitable for both occasional and experienced crystallographers.
- Compact D8 QUEST platform with high-speed KAPPA goniometer
- High-brilliance IμS 3.0 microfocus source with Mo radiation.
- Large-area, photon-counting PHOTON IV 8 detector.
- Intuitive APEX software suite with experiment setup, automated data reduction, and expert level control in a single integrated workflow.
Configure Your Own Diffractometer: Efficiency Solutions
Our modular diffractometer platforms can be built custom according to your lab's specific needs, with your choice of X-ray radiation, goniometer, software, devices for non-ambient crystallography and more.
This configurator is for our Efficiency Solution diffractometers, which are equipped with a IμS 3.0 microfocus X-ray source.
