Bruker D2 Phaser

The Bruker D2 PHASER is a compact, benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) system designed for rapid and precise analysis of polycrystalline materials. Utilising the classic Bragg-Brentano geometry, this instrument delivers high-quality data for applications such as phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, and crystal structure determination.

Key features include:

• Superior instrument alignment: Guaranteed 2θ linearity of less than 0.02° over the entire angular range, ensuring accurate and precise measurements.

• High-speed data collection: Equipped with the LYNXEYE XE-T detector, the system offers rapid analysis, up to 450 times faster than standard 0D detector systems.

• Low operational costs: Features such as an air-cooled X-ray tube, virtually infinite tube lifetime, and low power consumption (maximum 650 W) contribute to reduced maintenance and operational expenses.

• Compact and portable design: Its lightweight, all-in-one configuration requires minimal installation, fitting seamlessly into various laboratory environments.

• User-friendly operation: The DIFFRAC.SUITE software provides an intuitive interface suitable for both beginners and experienced users, facilitating efficient data acquisition and analysis.

The D2 PHASER is widely utilised across multiple scientific domains, including materials science, geology, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. In the biotechnology sector, it plays a crucial role in bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing by enabling precise characterisation of crystalline structures in various biomaterials. Its applications extend to university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and industrial quality control settings, where reliable and efficient material analysis is essential. Introduced in 2009, the D2 PHASER remains a relevant and valuable tool in contemporary research and industrial applications.
