FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 11, 2009-- At ACHEMA 2009, Bruker AXS, the global market leader in X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) instrumentation, introduces its next-generationD8 ADVANCETMdiffraction solution for the analysis of polycrystalline material by means of X-ray powder diffraction.
This latest modelD8 ADVANCEis the successor to the most popular X-ray diffractometer on the market. Where the previousD8 ADVANCEachieved the best data on the strength of its high-performance hardware and software, the newD8 ADVANCEincreases the ease of use with real-time component detection and plug-and-play functionality. These unique features allow the user to switch easily between most X-ray powder diffraction applications, including qualitative and quantitative crystalline phase identification, micro-structure and crystalline structure analysis, residual stress and texture investigations, X-ray reflectometry and micro-diffraction.
An integral part of the newD8 ADVANCEis the new softwareDIFFAC.SUITETMwith consistently implemented automation functionality: an accessory or subunit mounted onto the instrument registers itself with its relevant parameters and analytical capabilities in real time, including powerful component-conflict detection. The factory-aligned, snap-lock X-ray optics provide true ‘plug-and-play’ functionality, i.e. automatic and tool-free switching of the diffraction geometry, requiring minimal user intervention. TheDIFFRAC.SUITEoffers intuitive operation based on a graphical user interface that can be customized to match the operator’s requirements.DIFFRAC.SUITEcomes along with all the features and leading algorithms of its predecessorDIFFRACplus.
“The newD8 ADVANCE在继续源源不断的创新our very successful XRD product line. Our novel design interface between hardware and software provides high level expert analytical XRD capabilities while minimizing user intervention,” stated Dr. Arnt Kern, XRD Product Manager at Bruker AXS.
“We are convinced that the newD8 ADVANCEwith theDIFFRAC.SUITEsoftware meets the evolving requirements of the global XRD user community, today and in the future. The newD8 ADVANCEwill further strengthen our position as the leading global XRD company by expanding the market potential into applications which never used XRD before,” commented Dr. Lutz Brügemann, Director of R&D and Marketing at Bruker AXS.
