Key Features
2D SAXS: Pure Brilliance
Handle your samples with the help of a best-in-class beam delivery system. With a brilliant X-ray beam offering over 99.9 % spectral purity (Cu Kα) and scatterless beam collimation, users can achieve synchrotron-like 1D and 2D SAXS data quality, including SAXS, WAXS, and GISAXS, with minimal experimental effort and short exposure times.
This SAXS system combines a powerful optical setup with a compact footprint (2.7 m x 0.9 m), enabling resolution of structures up to 300 nm.

Flexibility for the Experiments
Customize your system to handle a variety of samples with a wide selection of stages designed specifically for SAXS applications. Analyze nearly any nanostructured material, and switch seamlessly between sample stages thanks to automatically aligned components.
The available options include the TCStage for temperature-controlled measurements, the GISAXS stage for grazing-incidence analysis, and more.

Accelerate the Processes with Automation
With all routine tasks fully automated, you can speed up measurement workflows while SAXSdrive software handles the alignment of X-ray components and sample stages, reducing the risk of human error, even in complex SAXS experiments.
Boost sample throughput with the low-volume autosampler, which accommodates up to 192 samples, and keep them in optimal condition using the temperature-controlled well plate compartment.

Powerful Software
SAXSdrive™ and SAXSanalysis™ software streamline routine tasks, such as temperature scans and time-dependent studies, so you can run experiments while focusing on higher-priority work. With a free, lifetime update policy, you’ll continue to benefit from ongoing software improvements.
Use customizable templates to analyze your 1D and 2D SAXS data, and calculate key parameters including radius of gyration (Rg), particle size, Porod constant, specific surface area, and Kratky plots. Export your data in all major formats for further analysis. SAXSanalysis also ensures compliance with industry standards, including ISO 20804.
