SCOUT X-ray Diffractometer – Automated Cryo‑Cooled Sample Handler for SC‑XRD

SCOUT X-ray Diffractometer

The SCOUT X-ray Diffractometer is an advanced robotic platform built to simplify the complex task of screening cryo-frozen protein samples. It integrates directly with the Bruker D8 VENTURE single-crystal diffractometer. Using a precision six-axis ceiling-mounted robotic arm, it performs rapid and repeatable sample mounting while minimizing the risk of sample damage. As a result, SCOUT automates the screening stage of structural biology workflows, cutting down on handling time and human error while boosting data quality.

This intelligent sample changer includes AGH optics for advanced X-ray centering. Each sample is automatically aligned for optimal diffraction, improving accuracy with minimal user input. Furthermore, SCOUT operates with low liquid nitrogen consumption and prevents sample icing. These features are crucial for maintaining cryogenic stability. Its compact, ergonomic design combines cryogenics, robotics, and software into one self-contained module. This allows users to screen dozens or hundreds of samples with ease and consistency.

The SCOUT X-ray Diffractometer is ideal for high-throughput structural biology labs, synchrotron beamlines, and R&D institutions. It enables rapid screening of macromolecular crystals before full data collection. In addition, SCOUT supports automated evaluation and preliminary data processing. These capabilities reduce the cost per solved structure and help researchers plan efficient synchrotron sessions. Labs in academia and defense, especially those working on pharmaceuticals or biosensors, benefit from its performance and reliability.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies SCOUT to research, academic, and defense users across the country. Clients receive end-to-end support, including system delivery, installation, maintenance, and training—ensuring seamless adoption of high-throughput protein structure screening.

Can SCOUT operate unattended during overnight screening?
Yes. SCOUT can perform overnight screenings without supervision. It handles large sample batches precisely, maintains cryo-conditions, and logs results automatically.
