Xeuss 3.0 shown with Q-Xoom transparency to illustrate the moving detector.

Beamstopless data acquisition

SAXS acquisition continuously without any beamstop provides High Dynamic Range data.

No parasitic scattering from beamstop edges or detector window allows noise-free scattering at low q.

The direct beam is recorded simultaneously with the sample scattering profile during acquisition for accurate transmitted intensity measurement, used to obtain a precise absolute intensity normalization.

In addition, the direct beam profile thus measured is integrated in the data analysis (XSACT) to improve the accuracy of the results.

Clean Beam Technology

As a standard solution, Xeuss 3.0 integrates low maintenance microfocus beam delivery systems to provide very high flux levels previously only possible with high power rotating anode sources.
Advanced experiments such as kinetic studies or shape analysis of diluted samples can now be performed in the lab.

In addition, Xenocs X-ray beam delivery systems coupled with motorized scatterless collimation achieve high resolution (low Δq beam), which is essential for studying large characteristic dimensions or for performing accurate mesophase analysis.

The high useful flux together with the high resolution capability are achieved through the combination of:

High brightness, long lasting microfocus sources
Patented single reflection 2D multilayer optics with very high solid angle of collection
2D controlled beam size on sample and detector

Clean Beam Technology for Xeuss Pro The Ultimate Laboratory SAXS/WAXS/GISAXS/USAXS Beamline

To ensure the best quality of X-ray scattering measurements, including on diluted or low contrast samples, Xeuss 3.0 combines high flux with low noise technology, which is the fruit of more than 10 years of development.

Key integrated features are:

Fully in-vacuum system from optics to detector sensor
3rd generation scatterless collimation (first introduced on the market by Xenocs in 2008)
In-vacuum windowless detector
Hybrid pixel photon counting detector
Proprietary automatic cosmic background reduction to reduce the impact of ambient parasitic scattering

For applications requiring very fast kinetics Xeuss 3.0 can also be delivered with a MetalJet source.

Q-Xoom with large surface of detection

The Q-Xoom features full range computer-controlled detector travel to automatically adjust the sample-to-detector distance offering maximum flexibility of measurement for experiment optimization.

The virtual detector increases the measuring capabilities offering surfaces of collection larger than 200 mm² x 200 mm² at any sample-to-detector distance independently of detector size with automatic data reconstruction.

The large surface of detection is beneficial to optimize the azimuthal coverage in case of anisotropic samples or to benefit from high resolution measurement settings by characterizing smaller length scales (larger wave vectors) at longer sample to detector distance by a detector offset.

Maximum flexibility

Provide structural tools to a large community of users with full remote operation capability and access to a unique range of length-scales.

Advanced nanomaterials development and design require characterization over a large range of length scales. The Xeuss 3.0 offers such measuring capability over up to 5 orders in magnitude in q (wave vector) through entirely motorized change of configurations. Any trained user can thus operate the system remotely over its complete measurement range for a given sample or batch of samples.

Automatic change of measuring settings include:

– Q-Xoom change of measurement resolution through motorized translation of detector
– Sequential SAXS /USAXS measurement with Bonse-Hart USAXS module
– Change of energy radiation, up to 3 energies
– Movable WAXS detector for out of equilibrium in situ SWAXS studies

Simultaneously from atomic to nanoscale

No need to repeat SAXS and WAXS measurement, you get two measurements within one exposure.

The Nano-inXider features a smart dual detector design to detect atomic scale information and nanostructure simultaneously within one exposure. Long sample-to-detector distance for measuring large characteristic dimensions is achieved in SAXS through a vertical design with a small footprint.

Such configuration provides unique benefits:

You get access to nanostructure information together with atomic scale information in a single exposure. No need to repeat the experiment.
Unambiguous data is provided for inhomogenous samples since the same volume of sample is analyzed in SAXS and WAXS
Sample structure is probed at the same exact time at both atomic and nanoscale, which is mandatory for in situ studies

Dual fixed detector design for simultaneous SAXS and WAXS

With the Nano-inXider, the sample and the detectors are fixed. The optional WAXS detector extends the scattering range from the SAXS detector seamlessly throught 2Ɵ=60°.

Such a unique vertical design provides unique benefits:

No risk to choose the wrong configuration, it really is easy to use.
You get full q range with overlap between SAXS and WAXS, and a perfect intensity match of merged data.
No need to calibrate or adjust the sample-to-detector distance.
Unambiguous data is collected for in situ studies as atomic scale and nano scale structures are probed simultaneously.

Virtual detector for increased azimuthal coverage of anisotropic samples or fibers

For anisotropic samples like fibers or oriented films, the Nano-inXider is equipped with a sample rotation stage that acquires the anisotropic scattering. The automatic acquisition involves the following steps:

Rotation of the sample stage around the X-ray beam during sequential exposures
Automatic merge of the acquired images
Display of the final 2D image with a high azimuthal coverage (>200° over all instrument q range, i.e. up to 2Ɵ = 60°)

Extensive and powerful suite of data analysis algorithms

XSACT includes an extensive array of analysis modules for sample characterization of size, structure and texture of multiple types of materials including nanoparticles and polymers.

The SAXS community relies on multiple algorithms with custom models and many different applications. XSACT offers a unified, versatile and complete data processing solution to get things done as fast as possible.

Accurate and high dynamic range measurement

Focus your attention on science and data interpretation, you can rely on your data.

The Nano-inXider acquires high signal to noise data by measuring the intense direct beam transmitted through the sample together with low intensity signal scattered from the sample.
Direct beam measurement, achieved with innovative beamstop-less data acquisition, enables automatic data treatment and display in absolute intensity with a very high accuracy.
Simultaneous low intensity signals detection is rendered possible by implementation of Clean Beam Technology.

The high dynamic range of intensity collection directly impacts data quality by:

– Enabling the detection of low intensity scattered signal from weakly scattering samples
– Accessing absolute quantity parameters such as particles number, molar mass, concentration, specific surface
– Detecting large characteristic dimensions without need of user data treatment

Clean Beam Technology for high dynamic range measurement

The Nano-inXider integrates 15 years of R&D in the field of advanced components and instrument design to achieve an optimized balance of high X-ray flux on sample together with low parasitic scattering generated by the instrument.

Clean Beam Technology embeds the following key components and features:

Microfocus sealed tube source (30 W) coupled to patented single reflection multilayer optics
Patented motorized scatterless collimation
Fully in vacuum instrument from optics to detector sensor
Efficient and low noise hybrid pixel photon counting detector
Windowless SAXS detector

Beamstop-less acquisition for high-quality data

The Nano-inXider measures SAXS without any beamstop and simultaneously collects the direct beam transmitted through the sample together with the scattered signal down to very low intensity levels.

Such high dynamic range data collection is rendered possible by innovative beamstop-less data acquisition.

The direct beam is recorded all along the acquisition, which leads to an accurate transmitted measurement used to obtain a precise absolute intensity normalization.

In addition, the measured direct beam profile (resolution function) is integrated in the data analysis to improve results quality.

Xenocs beamstop-less data acquisition integrates automatic qmin determination depending on the sample and benefits from no parasitic scattering from beamstop edges for high data quality at low q.

Cosmic background reduction

Automatic cosmic background removal reduces the impact of ambient parasitic scattering.

High quality SAXS data in the lab

Measurements previously only possible at synchrotron facilities can now be done in the lab.

With the BioXolver you get:

Excellent data suitable for modelling and publications.
Precision determination of key structural parameters.
Structural information of proteins in solutions on a daily basis as complementary information to other characterization techniques.

Due to weak scattering from biological samples, high quality SAXS measurements require an instrument optimized for maximum X-ray intensity and lowest possible background noise. The BioXolver offers a unique combination of both capability in particular with:

High brightness sources coupled to latest generation 2D multilayer optics.
In-vacuum photon counting detectors with beamstop-less data acquisition.
Clean Beam Technology reducing parasitic scattering to its lowest levels.

High brightness sources coupled to high quality optics

The BioXolver can be installed with different source options.

It can integrate a MetalJet source to obtain the highest X-ray beam intensity possible in a laboratory instrument.

It can also be installed with the Genix3D, a bright microfocus low maintenance source with intensity levels only previously accessible with high power rotating anode sources. Such performance is achieved by combining the Genix3D long lasting source with new patented FOX 3D multilayer optics having a very high solid angle.

Beamstop-less acquisition with windowless detectors

The BioXolver comes with windowless hybrid photon counting (HPC) detectors which allows for beamstopless measurements.

By operating without beamstop the direct beam is recorded all along the acquisition, which leads to an accurate transmission measurement used to obtain a precise absolute intensity normalization.

Moreover, operating without beamstop reduces the lowest scattering angle achievable as it is no more limited by beamstop size but is sample dependent.

Clean Beam Technology

The BioXolver uses state of the art collimation slits that greatly reduce noise and provide a clean beam.

High quality detection is achieved with hybrid photon counting (HPC) detectors integrated inside vacuum with no interfering window in front of detector sensor (windowless detector). This ensures that weakly scattering samples can also be measured at low concentrations.

Overall measuring background level of the instrument is further improved by proprietary automatic cosmic background removal algorithms suppressing high energy cosmics hitting the detector.

High throughput measurements and results

Full automation from sample to final results on up to 192 samples.

With the BioXolver standard well plates can be loaded & measured automatically using in-line pipetting robot & automated software suite for high user benefits.

More samples can be run
Short sample-to-sample cycle time
Reproducibility of your measurement is insured

Sample loading robot

The advanced pipetting robot avoids cross-contamination of samples through the use of disposable pipette tips, tubeless handling for no sample loss and a fully automated sample cell cleaning and drying.

Automated software package for data analysis

The BioXolver includes powerful data reduction BioXTAS RAW widely used by the BioSAXS community.

It enables standard data operation and data analysis (Rg, molecular weight, etc.), together with advanced analysis using ATSAS plugins.

For high throughput analysis, the automated analysis function analyzes and compiles the results for you.

Read application note

In-line SEC and UV-Vis combined with SAXS – also in the lab!

Obtain the structure of small and large protein species through in-line gel filtration

Sample size separation using size-exclusion chromatography in combination with the BioXolver can not only be used to ensure clean monodisperse samples, but also facilitates research on structurally heterogeneous & aggregation-prone multi-domain proteins as well as heterogeneous protein complexes in dynamic equilibria.

Easy switching to SEC-SAXS experiments

The BioXolver will work with any HPLC system, simply position the HPLC next to the instrument and hook up the column to the BioCUBE flow cell. The in-line UV/Vis ensures accurate determination of the sample concentration exactly at the SAXS exposure position. The included analysis software automatically reduces and provides an easy overview of your entire SEC-SAXS run and makes further analysis easy.

Integrated UV-Vis

In situ UV measurement directly in the measurement cell provides concentration information of the sample before and after X-ray exposure or during a SEC-SAXS experiment.

This is especially important in this case as the sample is diluted in the transport path from the (HPLC) column exit to the x-ray exposure position.

在实验室中得到高质量SAXS数据

以前的测试只能在同步辐射完成，现在也可在实验室中实现。

通过BioXolver，您可以得到：

适用于建模和发表文章的高质量数据
精确测定关键结构参数
日常得到的在溶液中的蛋白质结构信息，可作为其他表征技术的补充信息

由于生物样品的微弱散射，高质量的SAXS测量需要一台仪器来达到最大X射线强度和尽可能低的背景噪音。通过以下技术的组合，BioXolver具备了这两种独特的功能:

高亮度光源结合最新一代二维多层膜光学聚焦镜
在真空中运行的无beamstop数据采集的光子计数探测器
纯净光束技术将寄生散射降低到最低水平

高亮度光源与高质量光学聚焦镜相结合

BioXolver可以配备不同的光源。

可以结合MetalJet光源，在实验室仪器中获得尽可能高的X射线光束强度。

也可以安装Genix3D，一种低维护成本的高亮度微聚焦光源，其强度以前只有高功率阳极转靶才能达到。这种性能通过结合Genix3D耐用光源与具有超高立体角、新的专利FOX 3D多层膜聚焦镜实现。

通过无窗口膜探测器实现无beamstop测试

BioXolver配备了无窗口膜混合光子（HPC）探测器，能够实现无beamstop测试。

在无beamstop情况下，整个测试过程中一直记录直通光，通过准确的透射测试来得到准确的绝对强度校正。

此外，由于不受beamstop尺寸限制，而只与样品有关，无beamstp测试可得到更小的最小散射角度。

纯净光技术

BioXolver采用了最先进的准直狭缝，极大地降低了噪音，从而得到了纯净光束。

通过在真空中利用混合光子计数（HPC）探测器，且探测器传感器（无窗口膜探测器）前面无干扰，实现了高质量的检测。这可确保弱散射样品也可以在低浓度下测量。

采用专用的宇宙背景自动去除法，抑制高能宇宙射线，进一步降低了仪器整体的背景噪音。

SAXS可以和在线SEC、UV-Vis联用 – 在实验室也可以实现!

通过内置胶体过滤获取不同尺寸蛋白质种类的结构

BioXolver结合了尺寸排阻色谱法来进行区别样品大小，不仅可以保证样品完全单分散，还能促进对结构异质且易于聚集的多域蛋白以及动态平衡中异质蛋白复合物的研究。

轻松切换到SEC-SAXS实验

BioXolver适用于任何HPLC系统，只需将HPLC置于仪器旁边，并将色谱柱连接到BioCUBE流动池。在线UV/Vis能够确保在SAXS曝光位置精确测量样品浓度。自带的分析软件可自动简化概述整个SEC-SAXS运行过程，这使得进一步分析更加容易。

集成UV-Vis

由于原位UV测试直接在测试池进行，在X射线曝光之前和之后或在SEC-SAXS测试中都能得到样品的浓度信息。

因为样品在从(HPLC)柱出口到X射线曝光位置的传输过程中会被稀释，所以在这种情况下，这一点尤为重要。

低样品消耗量

低至5μL。目前是市场上最低的样品消耗量。

通过内置移液机械臂，毛细管流动池BioCUBE以及机械视觉的结合对样品进行监测，确保了少量样品的高精度定位。

在不同环境或浓度下样品总消耗低，对生物结构研究非常有益。

需要极少的宝贵样品。
在相同的样品制备量下可以进行更多的实验。

BioCUBE

无管操作确保样品消耗量低至5 μl。这在同类仪器中是独一无二的。

每个样品首先由无管移液机械臂自动注入到BioCUBE测量池中，然后定位到光束中进行测量，并实时对其位置进行连续控制。

样品在孔盘中储存期间和在BioCUBE测试期间都始终保持在选定的温度下。

您还可以选择具有集成UV/Vis功能的BioCUBE。

5μl样品量的机械视觉控制

利用机械视觉技术，BioXolver能够随时对样品进行数字化监控。

样品装载后就会被准确地定位在X射线光束中，同时持续反馈结果给自动控制软件来保持光束中的样品量不变。

内容广泛、性能强大的数据分析算法软件

XSACT包括一系列的广泛的分析模块，用于对多种类型的材料包括纳米颗粒和聚合物的尺寸、结构和织构进行样品表征等。

SAXS用户群倾向于具有自定义模型和多种不同应用程序的算法。XSACT提供的统一、全面且完整的数据处理解决方案可尽快完成任务。

SAXS和WAXS数据部分重叠，获取完整q值范围内强度完美匹配的合并数据。
无需校准或调整样品到探测器距离。
同时对原子尺度和纳米尺度结构进行了探测，可以为原位研究提供清晰的数据。

虚拟探测器能够增大各向异性样品或纤维的方位角覆盖

对于纤维或取向薄膜等各向异性样品，Nano-inXider配备一个样品旋转台可以获得各向异性散射信号。自动采集包括以下步骤:

在连续曝光期间，样品台围绕X射线旋转
自动合并获得的图像
展示高方位角的2D图谱（仪器检测的所有q范围，即使高达2θ=60°，方位角覆盖都大于200°）

高精度高动态范围测量

获取可信赖的数据，将您的注意力集中在科学和数据解释上。

Nano-inXider可以通过测量透过样品的强直通光和样品的低散射强度信号来获得高信噪比数据。
通过先进的无beamstop数据采集进行直通光测量，自动处理数据并获得准确度高的绝对强度。
纯净光技术可以实现同时检测低强度信号和高强度信号。

强度采集的高动态范围直接影响数据质量：

– 能够检测弱散射样品的低强度散射信号
– 定量获得粒子数、摩尔质量、浓度、比表面积等参数
– 探测大特征尺寸，无需用户进行数据处理

纯净光技术适用于高动态范围测量

Nano-inXider通过在先进组件和仪器设计上长达15年的研发，达到了在样品上高X射线通量与仪器产生的低寄生散射的最佳平衡。

纯净光技术具有以下主要组件和特点：

微聚焦密封管光源(30W)与专利的单次反射多层膜聚焦镜结合
专利的自动无散射准直技术
仪器从聚焦镜到探测器传感层全部在真空环境中
高效低噪声混合像素光子计数探测器
无窗口膜的SAXS探测器

无beamstop采集可得到高质量数据

Nano-inXider无需任何beamstop就可以进行SAXS测量，还可以同时采集透过样品的直通光和非常低强度散射信号。

通过先进的无beamstop数据采集可实现高动态范围的数据收集。

在整个的采集过程中记录直通光，使透射测试更准确，从而使绝对散射强度校正更准确。

另外，被测量的直通光（分辨率函数）会被整合到数据分析中来提高测量结果的质量。

Xenocs无beamstop数据采集实现了取决于样品的自动q_min测量，并且消除了beamstop边缘的寄生散射，从而在低q区域获得高质量数据。

降低宇宙背景

自动去除宇宙背景可以减少环境寄生散射的影响。

Low sample volume consumption

Down to 5μL. The lowest sample consumption on the market.

High precision positioning of small sample volumes is ensured by the conjunction of an in-line pipetting robot and the BioCUBE, an advanced capillary flow cell, coupled to machine vision for sample monitoring.

Such low total consumption per sample condition or concentration is highly beneficial for biostructural research.

Less precious sample is needed.
More experiments can be performed from the same preparation volume.

BioCUBE

Tubeless handling of sample volume down to 5 μl. This is unique on the market.

Each sample is first automatically injected into the BioCUBE measurement cell with the tubeless pipetting robot, then positioned into the beam for measurement with dynamic real-time continuous control of its position.

The sample is maintained at the selected temperature both in the well plate during storage and in the BioCUBE during measurements.

Optionally, the BioCUBE may also be provided with integrated UV/Vis capabilities.

Machine Vision control of 5 μl sample volumes

Using machine vision technology, the BioXolver is able to keep a digital eye on the sample at all times.

Once loaded, the sample is positioned with high precision in the X-ray beam while continuous feedback is provided to the automated control software to keep the volume in place.

Directly from samples to results

With the Nano-inXider SMART design, just put your sample in the chamber. Then get your results. It is simple and fast.
