  • High flux/low background instrument optimized for solution scattering/weak scattering
  • Structural characterization in the nano-range (1-100 nm)
  • Morphology, size and density distribution of nanostructures in solution.
  • Studies of interactions and ordering phenomena in colloidal or polymeric materials
  • Characterization of voids and nano-precipitation in alloys, rocks etc.
  • Characterization of composite materials
  • Shape and size analysis of proteins in solution. Conformation and complex formation.

 Auxiliary equipment

  • Flow-through cell for reproducible filling and removal of samples (required amount 200-500 microL).
  • Peltier element for accurate control of temperature (-40-120 C).
  • Linkam stage for wide temperature scans (-196 – 300 C).
  • Integrated stopped-flow apparatus for rapid mixing and time-resolved measurements of kinetics.
  • Option for characterization of nanostructured surfaces (GI-SAXS)
