BioSAXS-2000
Rigaku Oxford Diffraction’s BioSAXS-20001 is a small angle X-ray scattering system specifically designed for isotropically scattering samples, like those found in structural biology. The BioSAXS-2000 is a modern variation of the Kratky camera that eliminates the need for data corrections due to smearing, and is capable of collecting data on most samples in 15 – 30 minutes.
The BioSAXS-2000 has the advantage that it can be mounted on a variety of X-ray sources, including the open port of a rotating anode.
No need to wait for beamtime at a synchrotron
The BioSAXS-2000 is equipped with the new OptiSAXS optic, a doubly focusing multilayer optic whose focus is at the detector. The OptiSAXS provides better than two fold improvement in flux compared to its predecessor resulting in higher brilliance at the sample position and data collection times in the range of minutes. Thus, the BioSAXS-2000 brings a beamline experience to home laboratory SAXS experiments.
