Oxford Diffraction Launch Gold Level US Reference Site for Crystallography at Virginia TechVirginia Tech agrees Gold Reference Site with Oxford Diffraction as high profile US demonstration facility for single crystal diffractometers.As part of an agreement with Virginia Tech, Oxford Diffraction launched in September its "Gold Level Reference Site" in the United States, which will provide the Company with a high profile demonstration facility for US customers interested in its Xcalibur range of single crystal diffractometers and accessories. Virginia Tech, located in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA, is the largest University in the State of Virginia with eight colleges and 25,600 students. Virginia Tech consistently ranks among the top 50 research universities in the United States. With more than 100 research centres, the university also consistently ranks among the top institutions in industry-supported research and near the top 10 in the number of patents issued each year. The agreement between Oxford Diffraction Limited and Virginia Tech follows the purchase by Dr. Carla Slebodnick and Professor Larry Taylor from the Chemistry Department of an Xcalibur 2 diffractometer under a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. The new diffractomer will be co-located with the Xcalibur 1 diffractometer purchased in June 2001 by Drs. Ross Angel and Nancy Ross of the Department of Geological Sciences, to create a new interdisciplinary crystallography lab at Virginia Tech ("VTX"). Together the two Xcalibur diffractometers allow experiments to be performed routinely to temperatures as low as 10 Kelvin and to pressures as high as 10 GPa (100,000 atmospheres) making VTX a unique facility that will serve not only Virginia Tech but other universities and colleges. "We see ourselves as a regional facility for the scientific community" says Dr. Carla Slebodnick, "Eleven colleges and Universities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee will send their samples to us to be measured. Next summer we will host a workshop, sponsored by Oxford Diffraction, to bring students from these universities to Blacksburg to train them in the use of the new equipment for their own research projects". Oxford Diffraction Limited will provide VTX with full service and support
for the Xcalibur instruments, loan of equipment and direct sponsorship
for staff and students. Faculty and students will also collaborate with
Oxford Diffraction in the development of new techniques and technologies.
Dr. Ross Angel said "We view this agreement as just the first step
in a long-term collaboration that will bring enormous benefits to many
research programs in chemistry, engineering and the geological and biological
sciences at Virginia Tech".
