D8 Advance X-ray Diffractometer

D8 Advance X-ray Diffractometer

The D8 Advance X-ray Diffractometer is a versatile X-ray powder diffractometer built on Bruker’s adaptable D8 platform. It supports a full range of studies, including powder diffraction, PDF analysis, SAXS/WAXS, and thin-film characterization. Without reconfiguration, it handles powders, solids, films, and liquids. Moreover, its DAVINCI.DESIGN offers motorized, tool-free switching between beam geometries—Bragg-Brentano, parallel, and high-resolution. Automatic alignment and recognition ensure accurate peak positioning, intensity, and resolution. NDA and coating analysis benefit from TWIN/TRIO optics, which provide flexible beam paths across 1°–150° 2θ.

Equipped with dynamic beam optimization, the system includes motorized slits, an anti-scatter screen, and a variable detector window. These features reduce scatter from air and sample support, improving detection at low angles. This is especially important for materials like pharmaceuticals, clays, zeolites, and porous substances. In addition, the LYNXEYE XE‑T detector offers multi-modal use with energy resolution <380 eV at 8 keV. It filters fluorescence without Kβ filters and delivers count rates up to 450× faster than standard detectors. For more advanced needs, the EIGER2 R photon-counting detector offers 0D/1D/2D modes with panoramic coverage and seamless rotation.

The D8 Advance X-ray Diffractometer is well-suited for Pakistan’s Army labs, materials testing in naval and aerospace centers, and academic research institutions. Its sample changers—FLIPSTICK (9) and AUTOCHANGER (90)—allow high-throughput workflows. Furthermore, its non-ambient range (–85 K to 2500 K, up to 10 bar, and 5–95 % RH) supports studies involving thermodynamics, structure, and humidity effects. Fast configuration changes enable a smooth transition between research and quality control environments.

Tactical Supply Pakistan delivers the D8 ADVANCE to military and academic institutions. As a result, users gain a perfect blend of performance, flexibility, and ease-of-use, backed by modular optics and an automatic alignment guarantee.

Are configuration switches between Bragg-Brentano and parallel beam fully automated?
Yes. Motorized optics allow tool-free, software-controlled switching between beam geometries, ensuring faultless alignment and peak accuracy.
