The home of CRYSTALS puts Gemini R through its paces at Oxford University, UKThe Chemical Crystallography Laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK and home of the renowned CRYSTALS software are conducting field trials of a Gemini R X-ray system and putting it through its paces on a mixture of routine analytical and difficult research projects.The Chemical Crystallography Laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK and home of the renowned CRYSTALS software are conducting field trials of a Gemini R X-ray system and putting it through its paces on a mixture of routine analytical and difficult research projects. Installed in Oxford University’s £60 million state-of-the-art Chemical Research Laboratory; which is the largest in the western world and was officially opened by HRH the Queen in February 2004, the Gemini R is being routinely used to determine the structure of potential new drugs and materials which it is hoped will one day benefit all mankind. Recently awarded an R&D100 award, as one of 2005’s most technologically significant advances, the Gemini R is the first of a new breed of dual wavelength X-ray systems available from Oxford Diffraction. The Gemini R features co-mounted molybdenum and copper X-ray sources which utilise the patented Enhance technology. Mounted alongside this is the 135 mm Ruby CCD which offers a combination of large active area and high sensitivity. Dr Leigh Rees, Marketing Manager at Oxford Diffraction said “We are very pleased to have installed the first Gemini R in such a high profile and prestigious laboratory. The system has been installed for a number of months and is actively employed in the determination of new crystal structures as part of the day to day work of the lab.” Dr David Watkin, co-author of the crystallographic software CRYSTALS (http://www.xtl.ox.ac.uk) and head of the Chemical Crystallography Laboratory commented “Most small molecule crystallographers recognise that there are some problems best solved with Mo radiation and some best solved with Cu. There are even some experiments that would benefit from the use of both radiations. In recent weeks there has been much electronic discussion about the virtues and uses of each radiation. Although changing X-ray sources on CCD diffractometers is less time consuming than it was with older serial instruments, it is still sufficiently troublesome to discourage all but the most dedicated workers. With the Gemini, changing sources is just a mouse click away, and takes only minutes. Oxford Diffraction’s solution to the problem is quite simply elegant. “.
