D8 VENTURE 

Modular, Dual-Wavelength Platform for Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction

The D8 VENTURE is a modular diffractometer with single-wavelength or dual-wavelength options designed for high-performance crystallography in chemistry, materials science and the life sciences. 

The modular D8 VENTURE platform gives crystallographers the ability to create a high-performance diffractometer that matches their research needs.

The system's spacious interior, in a relatively compact footprint, provides room for an additional X-ray source, our SCOUT system for automated crystallography, an ISX stage for in situ crystallography or devices for crystallography at non-ambient conditions.

The D8 VENTURE uses best-in-class components and is available with air cooling to ensure the collection of high-quality diffraction data for accurate structure determination. 

                -  Sealed-tube microfocus X-ray sources: IµS 3.0, for the Efficiency Class.

                -  Diamond-hybrid microfocus X-ray sources: IµS DIAMOND II, for the Performance Class

                -  Liquid-metal-jet X-ray source: METALJET MC, for the Beamline Class

  • Advanced safety enclosure: TUEV certified safety enclosure.
  • Software: APEX for chemical crystallography and/or PROTEUM for structural biology.
  • Enhancements/ Upgrades: SCOUT automated sample handling, ISX Stage, High-Temperature Device, and more
The D8 VENTURE's spacious interior provides room for a second wavelength source, a liquid-metal-jet source or automation hardware.

Configure Your Own D8 VENTURE

The D8 VENTURE can be built custom according to your lab's specific needs, with your choice of source technology, goniometer, software, devices for non-ambient crystallography and more.
