Product description

High-performance XRD with microfocus source, advanced detectors, and large sample capacity for diverse materials.

The Bruker D8 Discover is a versatile and high-performance X-ray diffractometer (XRD) designed for comprehensive structural analysis of a wide range of materials, including powders, amorphous substances, polycrystalline materials, and epitaxial thin films. This instrument is essential for researchers and professionals in biotechnology, materials science, and pharmaceuticals, providing critical insights into material properties and behaviours.

Key features:

  • High-brilliance X-ray sources: Equipped with advanced sources like the IµS microfocus and HB-TXS High-Brilliance Turbo X-ray Source, delivering exceptional photon flux for enhanced data quality.
  • Large sample capacity: Accommodates samples up to 300 mm in diameter and weighing up to 50 kg, facilitating the analysis of large or heavy specimens.
  • Flexible sample stages: Features unique UMC sample stages that support a wide range of sample sizes and weights, enhancing versatility in experimental setups.
  • Advanced detection systems: Incorporates detectors such as the VÅNTEC-500 with a 140 mm diameter window, enabling rapid data collection and comprehensive analysis.
  • User-friendly design: Utilises SNAP-LOCK X-ray optics for tool-free switching between configurations, and automatic component recognition for seamless operation.

Applications:

  • Biotechnology: Critical for analysing biomaterials, studying protein crystallography, and investigating structural properties of biological macromolecules.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Essential for drug development processes, including polymorph screening, stability testing, and formulation analysis.
  • Materials science: Supports research in nanotechnology, thin-film analysis, and the development of advanced materials.
  • Semiconductors and microelectronics: Facilitates quality control and process development through structural characterisation of semiconductor materials.

Commonly used in:

  • University laboratories: Supports academic research and education in material characterisation and structural analysis.
  • Biomedical research centres: Aids in the study of biomaterials and the development of medical devices.
  • Pharmaceutical companies: Integral to drug discovery, development, and quality assurance processes.
  • Industrial R&D facilities: Utilised for materials development, quality control, and failure analysis.

Since its release, the Bruker D8 Discover has remained a cornerstone in X-ray diffraction technology, continually evolving to meet the advancing needs of scientific research and industrial applications.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
