Ultrabright X-rays for protein
crystallography
X-ray source is culmination of a long commitment to research on X-ray source technology in general, and so-called 'rotating anode generators' for protein crystallography in particular
Bruker AXS has introduced a new high performance ultra-bright X-ray source, called Microstart-H, for laboratory protein crystallography Microstart-H is the culmination of Bruker AXS's long commitment to research on X-ray source technology in general, and so-called 'rotating anode generators' for protein crystallography in particular

Bruker Daltonics will host a Users Symposium on Sunday 1 June to introduce Maxis, a novel high-speed, ultra high resolution time-of-flight (UHR-tof) mass spectrometer to the marketplace
It claims major advances in anode design, electron and X-ray optics to achieve extraordinary brightness and X-ray intensity, comparable to a typical 2nd generation synchrotron beam-line.
Its advanced design also features operating and maintenance costs much lower than most conventional rotating anode X-ray sources.
The novel Microstart-H also features exceptional positional and intensity stability.
This unique combination of X-ray source intensity and stability allows many protein structures, that could previously only be determined at a synchrotron beam-line facility, to be solved quickly and easily in the home laboratory.
Roger Durst, vice president of R and D and global crystallography business manager of Bruker AXS, commented: "Our customers are very excited about the capabilities of the Microstart-H.
"This new ultra-bright X-ray source offers unprecedented performance, yet its cost of ownership and ease of use are superior to most other rotating anode sources. Request a free brochure from Bruker Daltonics ...
"This makes the Microstart-H an ideal tool for both high-throughput crystal screening as well as the most demanding structural proteomics studies, including SAD phasing and absolute structure determination.".
