SmartLab SE

The SmartLab® SE is a highly versatile multipurpose X-ray diffractometer XRD with built-in intelligent guidance. It offers continued refinement of the original ease of use features that enabled the original SmartLab to receive the R&D 100 Award in 2006. It features automatic alignment, component recognition, cross beam optics and advanced photon counting hybrid pixel array detectors (HPAD).

Key Features

• Cross-Beam Optics (CBO) module – Switch between Bragg-Brentano and parallel beam via software
• D/tex Ultra 250 1D detector
• HyPix 400 OD/1D/2D HPAD detector (optional)
• Automatic alignment
• SmartLab Studio II Software including Guidance
• Wide range of stages, sample holders and attachments with auto recognition

 HyPix-400 2D HPAD Detector

The HyPix-400, a semiconductor hybrid pixel array detector was specifically designed for multipurpose X-ray diffractometers. Its large active area, high angular resolution and ultra-high dynamic range make it the perfect, affordable, 2D detector solution for a large variety of applications, including powder and thin film diffraction.

Sample Stages and Attachments

• High temperature stages
• Low temperature stages
• Automatic sample changers
• DSC – Differential Scanning Calorimetry
• Wafer stages
• Battery cells

Automatic Alignment

Guidance software will walk users through changing optical components and attachments. This avoids costly visits from engineers and allows user the freedom to easily alter configurations for different experiments and sample types. Furthermore, with self-aligning optics, users can maximize uptime so you can process more samples, more quickly.

SmartLab Studio II Software

SmartLab Studio II is now Rigaku’s XRD software that is used across their XRD portfolio and covers everything from measurement to analysis.

• Seamless operations from measurement to reporting
• Covers basic XRPD applications, e.g. qualitative, quantitative, crystallite size, Rietveld analysis, as well as advanced analysis, e.g. X-ray reflectivity, HRXRD, pole figure and PDF.
• Clustering analysis and Data Visualization supports various data treatments
• Supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 data integrity
• Network dongle provides software licenses maximum 10 PCs
• User Guidance guides instrument operation for beginners and experts - suggests the optimal hardware configuration and settings for specific application measurements
