Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction

Proto is excited to launch its newest product line, the single-crystal x-ray diffraction line. Your research deserves the best equipment on the market, and Proto is committed to delivering the most advanced, configurable systems available. From our proprietary high-precision bearings to advanced detector and micro-focus x-ray source options, your instrument will provide years of meaningful results.

With systems optimized for small-molecule crystallography and high-pressure crystallography, Proto offers versatile single-crystal XRD instruments to best suit your application.

Determining the structure of single-crystal materials is imperative to fully understanding their functions, and single-crystal XRD is an established and trusted method for investigating these materials.

ADVANCED PHOTON-COUNTING DETECTORS

At Proto, we always choose the best possible x-ray detection systems for our equipment, which is why all of our single-crystal diffractometers are equipped with photon-counting detectors. These detectors directly capture x-ray photons and convert them into an electrical signal. This direct conversion is advantageous because it yields zero dark noise, zero readout noise, high dynamic range, and excellent signal to noise. With our high-quality photon-counting detector options, you don't need to worry about detector saturation, allowing you to focus on your data.
