Saturn 724 HG CCD detector
The new improved Saturn 724 HG is the latest CCD camera for small molecule crystallography from Rigaku. Incorporating the newest and most sophisticated Kodak® CCD chip, the Saturn 724 HG provides a new dimension in data quality, with high gain, a very fast readout speed, a large active area, high sensitivity and a broad dynamic range.
Perform rapid data collection
With the largest active area and fastest readout of any comparable small molecule CCD X-ray area detector, the Saturn 724 HG has been the perfect tool for fast data collection. Now, the Saturn 724 HG also boasts the highest sensitivity available among comparable detectors so there is no longer any reason to compromise. The 4-port readout, with a total digitization speed of 8 MHz, delivers maximum data in minimal time. In addition the use of parallel Imaging and processing dramatically reduces cycle time between images ensuring data collection time is kept to an absolute minimum.
Produce highest quality datasets
Optimized for molybdenum (Mo) radiation, the larger aperture and high sensitivity of the Saturn 724 HG enables collection of higher resolution data, with greater redundancy, at a given crystal-to-detector distance. The advanced full-frame CCD employed by the Saturn 724 HG uses a proprietary 2-phase architecture and has high capacity pixels for extended dynamic range. With its 18-bit analog-to-digital (ADC) processing architecture, the Saturn 724 HG is ideal for accurately measuring weak reflections.
The high sensitivity is achieved by the use of a high efficiency sensor, in which one of the two polysilicon gates was replaced with the transparent conductor indium-tin-oxide (ITO) in combination with a high efficiency scintillator. The design of the CCD chip eliminates the need to resort to backside illumination and provides the intrinsically superior dark current characteristics needed to generate the highest quality data.
