SCXmini™ benchtop small molecule X-ray crystallography system

The Rigaku SCXmini is the first benchtop X-ray crystallography system for automated three dimensional (3D) chemical structure determination. This affordable, full power, chemical crystallography system is designed to automatically produce publication quality structures for researchers who have no special training in crystallography.

Perform more experiments FAST

The SCXmini is a full powered research grade instrument that sits on the benchtop. No data quality compromises, no extended collection times. Results delivered are unambiguous. The SCXmini produces atomic resolution 3D structures of routine samples quickly and easily at the click of a mouse. SCXmini takes small molecule structure determination to the next level of convenience by simplifying or automating the previously difficult aspects of X-ray structure determination, from alignment through data collection all the way through to a structure solution.

Produce your own structures

If you think that "do-it-yourself" structure determination only refers to NMR, prepare for a revolutionary advance. X-ray crystallography is no longer the exclusive domain of the professional crystallographer. With the introduction of the SCXmini, routine small molecule structure determination is accessible to students and scientists of other disciplines. Definitive structure determination is finally as routine as taking an NMR or IR spectrum, with no more waiting on someone else for results.

Publish, publish, publish

The SCXmini automatically solves structures and generates "submission ready" reports to dramatically increase your publication output. An affordable, low maintenance, low cost-of-ownership crystallography system, the SCXmini can provides your lab with a powerful new capability. Equipped with the optional TEC-50 liquid nitrogen free (LN2-free) low temperature system, the SCXmini can handle difficult and sensitive crystals that only the big systems could previously tackle. Now everyone in your group, lab or department can solve and publish their own structures.
