Desktop X-ray diffractometer (XRD) MiniFlex II manufactured by RIGAKU (Japan)

For more than 50 years, the Japanese company Rigaku Corporation (Rigaku) ​​has been specializing in the production of X-ray diffractometers. Thanks to experience, innovative design solutions, high level of production, RIGAKU has become a world leader in X-ray spectrometry, diffraction, X-ray optics and molecular and protein crystallography. A large number of models of devices manufactured by RIGAKU allow you to choose the one that best meets the needs of the user. This determines the great popularity of RIGAKU equipment all over the world.

MiniFlex II - desktop x-ray diffractometer


Miniflex II– desktop diffractometer with an optimal price-quality ratio. This diffractometer is the new standard for universities, research institutes and other laboratories wishing to add the capabilities of X-ray diffractometry to existing research methods. Miniflex II has low power consumption, small size and low cost.

The unique sealed layout allows for easy transportation and simple installation. The portability of the Miniflex II diffractometer and its minimal tube cooling and power requirements make this system suitable for oil and gas, mining, construction and many other industries.

Thanks to the latest developments, Miniflex II allows you to obtain high signal-to-noise ratio X-ray patterns using a monochromator and a new detector with a large entrance aperture. Miniflex II delivers results comparable to large, expensive X-ray systems.
Novelties - a device for sample rotation and an autochanger for 6 samples.

Width - 56 cm, height - 65.6 cm, depth - 37.5 cm and a weight of about 76 kg allow you to install it on the table. The power supply and a space the size of a desk are sufficient to operate the appliance.
 

Features and benefits of the model:

X-Ray Protection
When the protective cover door is opened, the shutter is automatically activated, which fully guarantees the protection of the operator from X-ray radiation.

Displaying Instrument Status
Monitoring and displaying the status of the instrument is useful for checking the operation of instrument components and components.

Automatically adjustable slits
Continuously adjustable slits associated with the θ-axis vary in width with the angle θ, which maintains the size of the illuminated area on the surface of the analyzed sample. This improves the peak-to-background height ratio at low 2θ angles and also increases the line intensity at large 2θ.

Data processing programs
Profile smoothing
Removal of Ka2 lines
Background Subtraction
Peak Search and Identification

Sample Holders
Two types of holders, for powders and bulk samples, are available for use with the MiniFlex vertical goniometer.

Auto Sample Changer Attachment
Up to 6 samples can be loaded and removed in one load using the auto sample changer attachment. To improve the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative phase analysis, the attachment implements a sample rotation mechanism.

Installation of the monochromator (Option) is possible. When using a monochromator
 

Main technical characteristics:

Application examples:

Quantitative analysis of asbestos, silica. Quality control of medicines, building materials. Measurements of crystalline, amorphous and polymorphic samples. Teaching and experimentation of pupils and students of institutes, technical schools and high schools, etc.
