X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD)

The Rigaku MiniFlex 600 is a fifth-generation MiniFlex X-ray diffractometer (XRD) that can perform
qualitative and quantitative analysis of polycrystalline materials. The MiniFlex 600 is twice as powerful as other benchtop models, enabling faster analysis and improved overall throughput. Each model is engineered to maximize flexibility in a benchtop package. 

The benchtop powder X-ray instrument is set up to collect PXRD in reflection mode with a 2θ (theta) scan range of 3° to 120°. The instrument uses Cu radiation and a wide-area scintillation counter detection system. The
instrument is operated at the maximum power 600W (40kV–15mA) and data collection scans can be
continuous or step-wise. A variety of sample preparation techniques can be used and we have three zero
background single crystal quartz sample holders. The system is available for wide-angle, powder, and film X-ray diffraction experiments on samples ranging from minerals to macromolecules.
