Oxford Diffraction launches GEMINI – the complete service diffractometer – at ECM22Oxford Diffraction Limited launched its new “Gemini” product at the European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM22) in Budapest this week. Gemini's defining features are co-mounted molybdenum and copper X-ray sources.Gemini is an innovative new diffractometer which has been designed to be the ultimate system for interdisciplinary and service crystallography. It is a complete automated X-ray system which requires virtually no maintenance and provides both molybdenum and copper radiation as pre-aligned co-mounted X-ray sources. Gemini can be used for a wide range of disciplines and applications including inorganic and organic crystals, absolute structures (chirality) of pure organics, incommensurates and quasi-crystals, twinned crystals, small weak crystals, electron density studies, high pressure crystallography and simple powder diffraction. It is a turn-key system comprising the large area Ruby CCD detector, which is optimised for both molybdenum and copper radiation, and the revolutionary twin Enhance X-ray sources. It comes complete with Oxford Diffraction's CrysAlis software for automated data collection, analysis and data reduction, a video microscope for sample mounting and absorption correction and can be mounted with nitrogen or helium cooling / heating devices. Dr. Leigh Rees, Product Manager at Oxford Diffraction, explained how the idea for Gemini had emerged due to the increasing requests to rapidly change wavelengths on the standard Xcalibur platforms. Dr. Rees said “Over the last 18 months since we launched our Xcalibur 3 small molecule diffractometer we have been increasingly supplying a second Enhance X-ray source which the customer would exchange in the field in order to switch wavelengths. We recognised this trend and decided to make this switch available at the touch of a button on a single diffractometer. The extremely positive reception of Gemini at its launch at the ECM22 show demonstrates that there is a considerable demand for such a system”. |
