Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction Instrumentation

The Bruker APEX II Kappa diffractometer is equipped with an Oxford Cryostream low temperature device. Fast data collections can be carried out using this Kappa geometry diffractometer equipped with a 4K CCD (Charged Coupled Device) chip at 100-300K. This instrument uses a sealed tube Mo X-ray source. Currently, most of the structure determinations are carried out using this system.

The Bruker SMART 1KCCD Area Detector system was one of the first to be installed in the United States (December 1995) for use in small molecule crystallography. The Bruker-LT3 nitrogen gas flow low temperature device permits data collection at temperatures in the range of 120-240K. Currently, this instrument is primarily used for diffraction studies of organic compounds (Cu Source) and for teaching and training of students and Post-doctoral researchers.
