We are pleased to announce that we have selected Rigaku to be our equipment supplier. The equipment will include the FRE+ SuperBright (Mo) boasting both the new VariMax VHF (Very High Flux) and a VariMax HF (High Flux) focussing optics with Kappa Geometry Goniometers and two enhanced sensitivity Saturn 724+ 18 bit CCD Detectors. In addition we will have joint access to the Southampton Single Crystal Diffraction Centre 007HF Home Lab copper rotating anode (with Saturn 944 enhanced sensitivity CCD detector) Rigakus very popular solution for macromolecular crystallography. We are committed to rapid turnaround data collections and full structure refinements on the most challenging samples that the UK chemistry and materials communities have to offer at the cutting edge of their research. The sheer power of the FRE+, coupled with state-of-the-art optics and the new improved sensitivity Saturn CCD detector, will allow us to collect data in shorter timeframes and work with increasingly challenging samples. Rigaku have an excellent reputation for collaboration and building bespoke facilities and we believe this strength will help us achieve the cutting edge position that we need to be in.
