The Xcalibur E is a fully automated X-ray crystallography instrument for crystal to structure applications. It features a user-friendly interface and allows for fast and accurate chemical structure determination. Unlike other bench-top instruments that are limited to studying routine large crystals, the Xcalibur E is capable of handling crystals of various sizes and qualities. With its compact design and upgrade options for dual wavelength and CCD, it provides high-quality crystal structures with minimal user intervention in a short amount of time.
The Xcalibur E system, combined with AutoChem software, enables automatic chemical structure determination designed for chemists. It is capable of handling both routine and problematic crystals, regardless of size, offering a user-friendly interface that requires minimal intervention.
The process involves three main steps: starting the experiment, inputting the chemical formula (if available) to allow the system to suggest an optimal setup after a short data sample, and initiating the full experiment. The software automatically measures data, solves, and refines the crystal structure to publication quality.
As few as 3 mouse clicks are necessary to take the user from sample to final crystal structure.
The system automatically measures a short data sample that takes less than 5 minutes.
