The METALJET D2 PLUS for X-ray diffraction delivers the smallest and most intensive X-ray beam of any home lab X-ray source to meet the ever increasing demands of modern structural biology including protein crystallography and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). Consequently, the METALJET D2 PLUS enables you to collect data on smaller, more weakly diffracting crystals.

The world’s strongest in-house X-ray source is now even more powerful: 250 W power load on the target, extended cathode lifetime with longer uptimes and further reduced maintenance requirements define the next generation, the new METALJET D2 PLUS.

In the METALJET D2 PLUS the solid target of conventional rotating anode generators is replaced by a high-speed jet of liquid metal that can accept a much higher power load. The result is an X-ray beam that is much brighter than traditional home sources.

HELIOS MX optics for METALJET D2 PLUS transmits the X-rays to the crystal

To deliver such a small X-ray beam required technical innovation in the design of the X-ray optic with greater precision in the d-spacing of the multilayers. The HELIOS MX optics for METALJET D2 PLUS transmits the X-rays to the crystal in a uniformly small diameter, greatly exceeding the intensity of conventional X-ray sources.

The METALJET D2 PLUS was developed in collaboration with Excillum and is fully integrated into the D8 VENTURE cabinet, resulting in a small-footprint diffraction system. The source mounts directly on the goniometer ensuring easy and stable downstream alignment guaranteeing an excellent overall system precision.

By default, the D8 VENTURE with METALJET D2 PLUS is shipped dual-port ready, with a second port ready for another diffraction experiment, e.g. for BioSAXS investigations.

The level of integration makes the difference between a MetalJet and the Bruker METALJET D2 PLUS.

• Highest X-ray intensity due to exclusive patented liquid-metal-jet technology. One order of magnitude greater power load than conventional rotating anode X-ray sources.
• Unprecedented brightness resulting from the extremely high power loading and smallest electron focus.
• Perfect spot quality is achieved through the high-brightness LaB6 cathode and smooth, self-regenerating, liquid metal target which provides exceptional spatial and emission stability.
• Lower noise as the shorter-wavelength gallium Kα X-rays (λ = 1.34 Å) result in reduced background scatter and higher detector efficiency.
• Lower running costs are ensured by the low power consumption, minimal cooling requirements, and the self-regenerating target.
• Newly introduced "Dynamic Adaptation Technology" delivers an even more stable X-ray beam with increased up-time and reduced service costs
  

With the introduction of the IμS DIAMOND, microfocus X-ray sources have entered a new era of unprecedented performance that rivals modern rotating anodes without the cost and hassle of maintenance. The IμS DIAMOND is now available for Cu-, Mo- and Ag-radiation, in short: for all wavelengths commonly used in single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Small and weakly diffraction samples in particular benefit from the new technology.

All members of the IμS DIAMOND series deliver about 20% higher average peak flux densities than rotating anode generators. However, in contrast to rotating anode generators an IμS DIAMOND is fully air-cooled, has extraordinarily long up-times, does not require any routine maintenance, and is impressively compact.

The IμS DIAMOND is fully integrated into our single and dual source D8 QUEST and D8 VENTURE solutions. Full coverage warranty extension options ensure peace-of-mind.

• Lowest Cost of Ownership
• No Downtime
• Highest Reliability

Extreme intensity when you need it – all day, every day. The IμS DIAMOND Source – Simply Brilliant!

The TURBO X-RAY SOURCE (TXS) features a modern direct-drive anode and a vacuum chamber with integral turbomolecular pump for faster startups. The compact tower mounts directly on the goniometer. This ensures easy and stable downstream alignment of the source to the goniometer, greatly improving overall system precision.

The entire generator is fully contained within theD8 VENTUREcabinet, resulting in a very compact system.

• Optimized for Cu and Mo radiation
• Extended anode and filament lifetimes
• Pre-aligned and pre-crystalized filament
• Easy exchange of consumables for low maintenance costs
• Component recognition thanks to Davinci concept
• Excellent uptime
• Dual-port ready

The IµS 3.0 is the first-ever microfocus source designed from the ground up for crystallo-
graphy. Conventional microfocus sources adapt technology that was originally developed for radiography (non-destructive testing) and are thus not optimal for X-ray diffraction.

The IµS 3.0 makes no such compromises: every aspect of the source is specifically designed and manufactured for X-ray crystallography.

This means that you get a much brighter beam than ever before: up to twice the intensity of conventional microfocus sources. The IµS 3.0, available in our D8 Solution Second Generation, also features significantly better stability than conventional sources.

Best of all, the IµS 3.0 retains the legendary reliability and long tube lifetimes of the IµS family, still backed by the industry leading 3 year warranty.

• Up to twice the intensity of conventional X-ray microfocus sources
• Completely air cooled
• Very low power consumption
• Very long tube lifetimes
• Very little decay of intensity with time
• Most stable X-ray output
• Hermetically sealed, He-purged beampath
• High reliability, 3 year warranty

Available in the D8 QUEST and D8 VENTURE with Cu, Mo and Ag Kα radiation.

我们的水冷密封管x射线源a large top-hat-shaped beam with excellent intensity for large and medium sized crystals in chemical crystallography. The source can be combined with a flat graphite monochromator for Cu and Mo radiation. The TRIUMPH monochromator is available for Mo radiation as an alternative to further increase the intensity. The sealed tube is powered by 3 kW highly-stabilized medium-frequency generator featuring an automatic monitoring of all important parameters as part of the DAVINCI concept.

Since both, tube and generator are water-cooled heat dissipation to the air is minimized.

• Automatic burn-in of X-ray tubes to facilitate maximum tube lifetime
• Ramp-up and ramp-down to stand-by of the X-ray generator by software

For smallest crystals in chemical crystallography higher intensity sources, such as the IμS or the TXS are available. These sources also should be used for the investigation of protein crystals.
