XtaLAB mini™ II Benchtop X-ray Diffraction/Crystallography System
Manufacturer: Rigaku Corporation
SKU: XtaLAB mini II
Description
The XtaLAB mini II is a compact benchtop instrument designed for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It enables the determination of three-dimensional molecular structures suitable for publication, providing an accessible alternative to shared departmental facilities. This system allows research groups to analyze newly synthesized compounds without delays. Its design incorporates a 600 W X-ray tube paired with a SHINE optic, a specialized curved monochromator, to deliver sufficient X-ray flux for research-grade data collection. The instrument features an air-cooled HPC detector positioned to meet the angular coverage requirements of major crystallography journals. With dimensions of 560 mm wide, 395 mm deep, and 674 mm high, it operates on standard 110 VAC power, requiring no special infrastructure. An optional cryosystem is available. The XtaLAB mini II is also promoted as a teaching tool, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with crystal mounting, centering, and diffraction concepts on a robust, simplified platform.
