The University of Western Australia purchases an Xcalibur S CCD diffractometer for high resolution electron density studies.Oxford Diffraction recently installed an Xcalibur S diffractometer at the University of Western Australia, Perth. Xcalibur S was selected after comparative trials in which it provided the highest quality electron density data.Installed in the School of Biomedical, Biomolecular & Chemical Sciences at the University of Western Australia, Perth, the Xcalibur S will supplement the existing service diffractometer and will be used to collect the school’s high resolution data collections, with particular focus on the study of electron density. The school only recently moved in to a new state-of-the-art building designed specifically for the needs of molecular structure sciences. This and the purchase of new diffraction equipment reflect the high priority placed on this area of research by the university. ARC Fellow, Prof. Mark Spackman, commented “For various challenging charge density experiments in the pipeline, we were keen to obtain the highest quality integrated intensities in our own laboratory, but in as routine a fashion as possible. We were extremely impressed with the quality of data from the Xcalibur instrument, and look forward to pushing it to its limits, especially in conjunction with the Helijet in the near future.” This is Oxford Diffraction’s first installation
of its Xcalibur CCD diffractometer in Australia where its
local sales and support is supplemented by Oxford Instruments
Ltd Pty. The installation at the University of Western Australia
will provide a local reference site for the demonstration
of Oxford Diffraction equipment to researchers in the region.
Mr Richard Foster-Turner, Sales Director at Oxford Diffraction
said “We are delighted that the Xcalibur has been
selected as the instrument of choice by such a prestigious
university and world renowned expert in electron density
studies. It is gratifying that this sale was won off the
back of superb quality data and in the field of arguably
the most precise and highest resolution of all single crystal
X-ray diffraction experiments.” |
