D8 ADVANCE FAMILY

The D8 ADVANCE Family represents a range of hardware and software solutions for X-ray diffraction and scattering applications, including phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, micro-structure and crystal structure analysis, residual stress and texture investigations, X-ray reflectometry, SAXS and PDF analyis, and micro-diffraction.

DIFFRAC.DAVINCI guides the user to the optimal instrument configurations no matter what the applications is. The DIFFRAC.SUITE software package guides novice users through streamlined method development and execution while assisting experts in an unobtrusive manner. Powerful analysis software allows simple push button analysis with exceptional depth for those who are interested in achieving the best results.

The D8 ADVANCE Family includes the ECO, ADVANCE and PLUS variations which are optimized for highest economy, best powder diffraction data quality and largest range of materials research capability.

The D8 ADVANCE enclosure is designed for maximum ergonomics and safety in an optimized footprint. The status of the instrument is clearly displayed with LED X-ray lights and interactive screen keys capable of showing exactly the current state of the instrument. The interior is lit with dimmable LED lighting. Cable management is built into the enclosure including a removable labyrinth for easy cable routing. The base of the unit uses a standard 19” rack mount design for mounting of accessory controllers such as temperature stages.

Ultimate safety and quality: The D8 ADVANCE fully complies with all current EU directives, therefore establishing and guaranteeing the world’s highest standards for analytical X-ray equipment including X-ray safety, machine safety, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.

DAVINCI.DESIGN is Bruker's pioneering diffractometer design for true plug & play operation, making the instrument ideal for changing needs, multiple user environments and high-end research. DAVINCI.DESIGN allows easy and alignment-free switching of beam path components including the X-ray tube, optics, sample stages and detectors. With automatic recognition of all components, the instrument configuration is adjusted and validated in real-time. The DIFFRAC.DAVINCI software plugin, a unique Virtual Goniometer software solution, shows all beam path components of the actual goniometer and their status, reporting any configuration conflicts.

DAVINCI.DESIGN makes the D8 ADVANCE a true all-purpose system with unparalleled adaptability to any conceivable X-ray diffraction and scattering application, now and in the future.

The D8 ADVANCE with DAVINCI.DESIGN: Easy, intuitive, unobtrusive and fail-safe operation for any user, including novice and experts.
 

Bruker has always been at the forefront of providing highest instrument and data qualiy. The D8 ADVANCE comes with a unique alignment guarantee. Before delivery and at installation each instrument has to pass a strict test based on the internationally accepted, most current standard reference material SRM1976 by NIST. The accuracy of each peak position has to be equal or better than ±0.01° 2Theta over the whole angular range. Additionally, certified relative intensities and instrument resolution (FWHM) is verified. The most current NIST SRM 1976 is always included with each instrument facilitating Operational Qualification (OQ) after installation of upgrades or repairs Performance Qualification (PQ) at any time.
All necessary procedures are available to easily comply even with strict GLP requirements.
