What do you obtain when patented
technologies, award-winning software,
a fully functional PC with monitor and
state-of-the-art detectors meet up with
leadership in innovative X-ray diffraction?
Perfect solutions for powder diffraction.
And if it all fits onto a table, it is called:
D2 PHASER!
What enables this evolutionary leap to take place and
how can the amazing performance of this space saving
sensation actually be explained? 1-dimensional LYNXEYE detector Internal chiller

First of all, you develop an ultra compact goniometer,

file a patent, complete the system with all the other
components for autonomous operation and package the
whole configuration together with a fully functional PC,
monitor, keyboard and mouse, into a compact housing.
Second, you use the unique DIFFRAC.SUITE software
for controlling the instrument and analyzing the data.
Since its introduction the DIFFRAC software has devel-
oped into a high performance tool for the characterization
of crystalline phases in research and industry.

example the LYNXEYE detector. This state-of-the-art and

extremely efficient 1-dimensional detector simultane-
ously captures a large angular range and radically reduces
the measurement time: hours turn into minutes.
Combining all of these innovations creates a
benchtop X-ray diffractometer which has the analytical
performance and functions of a large instrument, but
which is easy to transport and opens up the whole world
of powder diffraction without a lot of infrastructure.

D2 PHASER – the
benchtop giant!
Wishes come true – comprehensive,
unique and non-destructive characterization
of crystalline samples by means of X-ray
diffraction (XRD) with the D2 PHASER. Cement & Minerals
Raw Materials & Mining
Our D2 PHASER opens the door to modern XRD for you.
This means qualitative and quantitative phase analysis,
polymorphism investigation, the determination of
crystallinity, all the way through to structure investigation
– all of it fast, simple, efficient and with high quality.
It is not just its analytical performance that makes the
D2 PHASER so revolutionary, but also its flexibility in
handling very diverse samples. Different material
properties require different sample preparations. Oil & Gas, Ceramics
Exploration
Therefore, besides a series of standard sample holders
made from PMMA or steel, the D2 PHASER also offers
holders for small sample amounts, low-absorbing and
weakly diffracting samples, for filters, for environment-
sensitive samples and for examining materials that tend
to show a preferred orientation.

What makes the D2 PHASER absolutely unique is the & Catalysts & Education
integration of the world's leading 1-dimensional detector
for X-ray powder diffraction: Our LYNXEYE.
With a performance enhancement in terms of intensity
by a factor of more than 150, the D2 PHASER is actually
playing in the top class. Additionally the LYNXEYE allows
suppression of sample fluorescence providing an excel-
lent peak-to-background ratio even for strongly fluores-
cent samples, eliminating any need for secondary

All-in-one is every-
thing you need –
D2 PHASER
Can XRD – the best method for phase
characterization – really produce high
quality data without the need for a
corresponding infrastructure?
Yes! With our D2 PHASER a new era begins.
All that is required is a simple domestic wall socket and
you can start producing outstanding analytical results:
Plug ‘n Analyze. Since it is a benchtop system it requires
only a minimum amount of space and is in no way
inferior to a large system in terms of its analytical
performance. Resolution, angular accuracy and data
statistics set new standards in this class of analytical
instruments; data quality which you can rely on and with
which even complex questions can be answered.
Our D2 PHASER is a transportable all-in-one instrument
that requires no additional cooling water or PC peripherals.
This means that there is nothing to prevent it from being
used on-site: simply switch-on a power generator, plug in
the connector and start measuring!
Our D2 PHASER is fully network capable. This enables
XRD experts in the central laboratory to access the data
that has been collected, no matter if they are next door
or at the other end of the world. Use the D2 PHASER
where it is needed – on-site – and you will save time
and money!
