Single crystal diffractometer with dual X-ray sources

新型双x射线源单晶衍射仪将成为有机化学研究所结构分析x射线服务部衍射仪设备园的一部分，用于新化合物的结构解析。目前，用于此目的的单晶装置有一个传统的铜x射线源和一个经典的CCD探测器，第二个装置有两个微聚焦x射线源（Cu和Mo）和一个升级的探测器。其中一台机器是用研究所的资金购买的，成本效益高，作为二手设备，目前已达到15年的生命周期，因此它目前经常发生故障。第二台可用的x光机使用时间超过9年，并以最大工作容量密集使用。第三台x射线单晶衍射仪（旋转阳极机）在使用超过25年后，已于2022年停止使用。这台非常老旧的x射线机的退役，以及使用传统铜x射线源的衍射仪最频繁的故障，大大减慢了服务部门的操作速度，使更换工作迫在眉睫。

The new single crystal diffractometer with dual X-ray sources will be part of the diffractometer equipment park in the X-ray service department for structure analysis of Organic Chemistry Institute and will be used for structural elucidation of new compounds. Currently for this purpose are available a single crystal device with a conventional copper X-ray source and a classical CCD detector and a second device equipped with two microfocus X-ray sources (Cu and Mo) and an upgraded detector. One machine was purchased cost-effective with Institute funds as a used device and reaches at this point 15 years life-cycle, by this reason it currently leads to frequent breakdowns. The second available X-ray unit is older than 9 years and is used intensively at maximum work capacity. A third X-ray single crystal diffractometer (a rotary anode machine) has been taken out of service in 2022 after more than 25 years of use. The decommissioning of this very old X-ray machine and the most frequent failures of the diffractometer with the conventional copper X-ray source slow down considerably the operation of the service department and make this replacement urgent.
