XRD has changed
D6 PHASER AUTOLOADER
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) plays a pivotal role in the process control of materials ranging from the cement used to build key infrastructure to the nanomaterials driving battery technology. Automation of this key technology is essential to obtaining consistent sample preparation, consistent system operation and consistent result determination.
D6 PHASER: XRD for Everyone, Everywhere and Everything
With the D6 PHASER benchtop XRD platform, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. See how the D6 PHASER’s components combine to give you flexibility in analytical methods.
Applications of the D6 PHASER: Powerful. Versatile. Accessible.
Supporting a wide range of applications for powder, bulk and thin film analysis, the D6 PHASER platform is evergreen with the ability to incorporate new accessories to meet changing analytical needs and new scientific studies.
A new class of X-ray Diffractometers
“The D6 PHASER is the base of a new world of XRD solutions with compact size and unparalleled flexibility.”
Frank Burgaezy, President, Bruker AXS
For more than 60 years Bruker has created innovative analytical instruments to support the scientific community as well as users in industry. Our analytical solutions stand for cutting-edge technology and the highest performance. While we are providing top technology for scientists worldwide, over the past decades, we have more and more focused on making the latest analytical methods also accessible to a broader group of users.
At the forefront of this endeavor for accessibility are our benchtop instruments. Although they come with a smaller form factor than our landmark full-size systems, they share with them the same analytical instrument DNA, including the focus on data quality, robust hardware design, and reliable results.
The D6 PHASER is a groundbreaking benchtop XRD platform that combines operability and flexibility. Unlike traditional benchtop instruments, it offers advanced analytical methods beyond powder diffraction. With its wide range of applications, the D6 PHASER opens up new markets and user communities for XRD. Download the brochure to know more.
Powerful
The combination of the highest X-ray source-power on the market, small goniometer radius, the proven LYNXEYE detector family, and tailor-made beam optics outperform many floor-standing systems.
- Up to 1.2 kW with internal cooling
- Time-tested goniometer
- Energy Discrimination with LYNXEYE XE-T detector
- Optional motorized beam optics
Versatile
“The platform design of the D6 PHASER allows us to continually push benchtop XRD beyond standard powder diffraction.”
Karsten Knorr, Global Product Manager, D6 PHASER
One of the hallmark features of the D6 PHASER is the ability to adapt the system to a multitude of measurement types beyond basic powder diffraction, making it a truly universal stage for every experiment.
- Reflection and transmission
- Non-ambient diffraction
- GID, XRR, Stress, Texture
The AUTOLOADER allows external loading without having to open the instrument. In addition, sample rings can be automatically loaded and unloaded via a conveyor belt interface.
Accessible
No training is required. The users are guided through analytical methods in an intuitive way based on our easy-to-use software and extensive knowledge of XRD analytical methods, while assisted by affordable, automated accessories.
- Dynamic Beam Optimization
- Touch panel operation
- Stage and optics exchange
D6 PHASER Benefits
To ensure that the D6 can handle a wide variety of samples and experiments, we not only designed multiple stages and optics, but also an entirely new interface for mechanical and electrical connectivity. This makes it a breeze for users to add and swap stages on their own, giving the D6 PHASER the ability to adapt to a multitude of measurement types beyond basic powder diffraction.
- High-precision mechanical mounting interfaces
- Distributed control electronics with pre-installed electrical connectors
- Guided exchange in the DaVinci software
- Alignment accuracy guaranteed within ±0.01° 2θ after re-referencing
D6 PHASER Applications
XRD for Everyone
XRD is unique in its sensitivity to the fundamental form, not just the elemental identity of a material. As instruments like the D6 PHASER become available, wider adoption of the technique has been seen across markets and scientific disciplines. Obtaining reliable, high-quality XRD results no longer requires years of experience in the technique, allowing users to focus on their analytical area.
XRD for Everything
No matter the sample form, the D6 PHASER can be equipped to measure it. From transmission measurements between foils or in capillaries, to bulk or mounted metallurgical samples to thin films and coatings. Sample holders and stage accessories are both affordable and easy to install, lowering the barrier for adaptation to new sample types.
XRD for Everywhere
Benchtop solutions in the past were limited by their size. Power, versatility, and accessibility all limited the types of measurements that could be performed to classic powder diffraction or limited “advanced” functions. The D6 PHASER was designed to perform a wide variety of measurements while producing uncompromising results.
Plan. Measure. Analyze with the DIFFRAC.SUITE software
Our X-ray diffraction software solutions are centered around the Plan. Measure. Analyze. concept, providing users with a seamless and intuitive experience. We leverage our extensive knowledge of XRD analytical methods to guide users through the analytical process.
The full-featured, and no-compromise DIFFRAC.SUITE software package provides the easiest measurement method creation and the most powerful and accurate analysis results.
The DIFFRAC.SUITE MEASUREMENT CENTER, DIFFRAC.EVA for general data evaluation and the COD database for phase identification are always included with two licenses for industrial labs and 10 licenses for academic users.
