Bruker D8 Quest (Cu source)
Description
The Bruker D8 Quest is a single-crystal XRD with a high flux copper source used to determine the structures of small molecules from single crystals of organic, organometallic, and coordination compounds. The CuKα wavelength (1.5418 Å) is suitable for determining the absolute configuration of organic molecules, which is important for chiral drugs and biological natural products.
Specifications
- 4-circle goniometer
- Shutterless Photon II detector
- Micro-focus Cu Iµs 3.0 sealed X-ray source.
- Oxford Cryostream (800 series) liquid nitrogen cooling/heating system (100-400K).
Applications
Small-molecule crystallography (especially organic and coordination complexes)
Absolute structure determination of light-atom molecules (e.g., organics with only C, H, N, O)
Structural analysis of weakly diffracting samples
Detection of twinning and disorder
variable-temperature crystallography
