The facility is for the investigation of inorganic, organometallic, organic or macromolecular materials with state of the art X-ray diffractometry. The X-ray lab has two single crystal Bruker APEX II CCD diffractometers and one D8 Discover Powder diffractometer. Both single crystal diffractometers are sealed tube instruments with Oxford Cryostream low temperature systems and are controlled by PC’s running the Bruker APEX2 suite of programs. One instrument has a Mo tube while the other is a Cu X-ray system. Both instruments have Monocap X-ray beam intensifiers.
