The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry’s single crystal X-Ray diffractometer, a Rigaku XtaLAB Synergy-R DW, is located in Shelby Hall 3034.

The instrument features a rotating anode X-ray source with dual wavelength (Mo and Cu) options. The HyPix-600 detector is a Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector, which provides shutterless data collection and high dynamic range options.

Together, the high signal to noise ratio is suitable for most kinds of chemical systems, including small proteins. Typical data collection time ranges from minutes to up to a day.
