Oxford Diffraction relocate to new premisesDue to ongoing rapid growth, Oxford Diffraction Limited has moved its head offices to a smart new site in the Oxfordshire region.Due to ongoing rapid growth, Oxford Diffraction Limited has moved its head offices to a smart new site in the Oxfordshire region. The new premises incorporate state-of-the-art demonstration and customer facilities will serve as the sales / marketing and support centre for Europe. Oxford Diffraction has experienced very vigorous sales growth in 2003 due to new product launches in the small molecule field as well as in the protein crystallography market. In March 2003, the new Xcalibur 3 small molecule system was launched incorporating the brand new Sapphire 3 CCD detector offering unrivalled sensitivity combined with ultra-low noise. In April 2003, the innovative Xcalibur PX Ultra protein crystallography system was launched as a highly compact, low-maintenance and cost-effective alternative to standard rotating anode generator systems. Within only a few months, Oxford Diffraction has won multiple orders for Xcalibur PX Ultra in both Europe and the USA of which several are already installed. Xcalibur PX Ultra generates X-ray flux on the sample close to that of a standard rotating anode with multilayer optics via its proprietary Enhance Ultra sealed-tube based X-ray source. This is combined with the 165 mm Onyx CCD detector to give a unique system with no moving parts in either the generator or detector - this leads to minimal maintenance requirements in both time and cost. The Managing Director, Dr. Paul Loeffen, said "It is gratifying to see how the team's hard work over the last couple of years has translated into such tangible success - our new head offices reflect the increasing profile of Oxford Diffraction and will enable us to expand further". Oxford Diffraction is recruiting for several new positions including application scientists, and support staff. |
