Padova ci Piace!

This summer we are looking forward to of the 34th European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM) and the 18th European Powder Diffraction Conference (EPDIC) in Padova, Italy.

 

As a member of the crystallographic community, we eagerly anticipate these esteemed gatherings. Our single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction solutions are tailored to empower crystallographers globally, offering state-of-the-art instruments, software, and expertise that drive groundbreaking research in the field.

 

Join us in Padova for an unforgettable experience at ECM34 (26 - 30 August) and EPDIC18 (30 August - 2 September). Let's celebrate crystallography, exchange ideas, and shape the future of our discipline in a city renowned for hosting luminaries like Giotto and Galileo Galilei.

 

We'll showcase our latest products and solutions during the exhibition, while also making significant contributions to the scientific program through our 15th TOPAS Users' Meeting (28-30 August). Registration for the event is now open.

 

We can't wait to welcome you to Padova!

OES Launch Event: Built on 300 Years of Innovation: Introducing Bruker's Newest Innovation in Elemental Analysis

Coming on May 28th: a fast, accurate, and always-ready metals analyzer, only from Bruker. Join us at our product launch event as we introduce our newest Spark Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) for elemental analysis in the metals industry. Our experts will discuss its technology and show how it advances chemical analysis to make a metallurgist's life easier -- through faster, more accurate results than ever before.

 

Metal producing industries, such as foundries, steel-, copper- and aluminum plants, and all kinds of metals fabricators in the automotive, aerospace, and home appliance industry, as well as inspection companies, service laboratories, and metal recyclers, use OES every day for process and quality control. Spark OES instruments analyze element concentrations from sub-ppm to percentage levels, in pure metal trace amounts up to high alloy grades. All relevant elements are analyzed directly and simultaneously.

 

If you're a metallurgist, a materials scientist, a lab manager, a chemist or a manufacturer involved with analyzing metals, you won't want to miss this momentous event. Sign up today for the session that best fits your schedule. If you can't attend, go ahead and sign up, and we'll send you the event recording to watch later.

Session 1: 3 pm SGT (Singapore) / 9 am CEST (Berlin)

Session 2: 4 pm CEST (Berlin) / 9 am CDT (Chicago)

Livecyte by Phasefocus Transforms the Research of Investigators at the University of York

Dr. Will Brackenbury, a senior lecturer in biomedical science, has integrated Livecyte as part of his research workflow focusing on possible new treatments for breast cancer and combating drug resistance commonly seen with standard therapies.

 

Livecyte uses high-contrast, label-free imaging in in vitro assays to generate a wealth of cellular dynamic information, over time, with the option to correlate with data acquisition from up to seven customizable fluorescence filters. In parallel, Livecyte’s Analysis segments and tracks every cell, robustly providing phenotypic metrics for every cell in the population. Dr. Laura Wiggins, a former PhD student in the research group, applied Livecyte to investigate the effect of a host of different treatment conditions on breast cancer cells. This allowed investigators to recognize novel anti-tumor compounds and identify specific drug resistance cells from their unique phenotypic fingerprint.

 

"We can now start identifying different phenotypic changes that wouldn't be possible using the other technologies. That's the single most important aspect." Dr. Peter O’ Toole, Facility Manager, University of York.

Clean Energy: Analysis of Recycled NMC Battery "Black Mass" Powder

Recycling of End-of-Life (EoL) batteries is essential to recover valuable materials, reduce environmental impact, and promote sustainable resource management. The recycling process involves sorting, dismantling, and metal extraction. In lithium-ion-batteries (LIB), the Cathode Active Material (CAM) contains particularly valuable metals, like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. During the recycling process, the CAM is concentrated together with residuals like graphite in so-called “black mass”. Verifying the elemental composition of this black mass powder is important for process control and value determination. Learn how the S2 PUMA Series 2 can help.

SC-XRD Online Seminar: Getting Started in Crystallography

Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) provides the most complete description of materials in atomic detail. Recent advances in software, workflows and hardware mean that this technique is no longer the realm of specialists but can now be routinely used by any scientist in almost any laboratory.

 

SC-XRD gives unique insight into structure-activity relationships in such diverse research fields as chemistry, geology, materials research, and biology, and is a powerful addition to any analytical laboratory.

 

Bruker will host a Getting Started in Crystallography online seminar on Wednesday, 19th June, during which our experts will show how SC-XRD can drive your research, demonstrate structure determination using APEX5 software and provide guidance on selecting the ideal instrument for your scientific needs. Register now for the session that best fits your schedule:

 

Session 1: 3 pm SGT (Singapore) / 9 am CEST (Berlin)

Session 2: 4 pm CEST (Berlin) / 9 am CDT (Chicago)

D6 PHASER: Cement Phase Quantification

The 600W and 1200W versions of the D6 PHASER, a multipurpose benchtop X-ray diffractometer, allow high quality data to be collected for cement phase quantification in just 5 to 10 minutes. Their unique combination of components enables a notable improvement in the detection limits for minor and amorphous phases, as well as the accurate quantification of phases associated with pre-hydration, such a Syngenite and Ettringite. High overall intensity, superior resolution, and minimal background give you phase quantification accuracy and repeatability on par with those of larger, floor-standing systems.

Image of the Month: SKYSCAN 1273 Scan of Sculpture of a Girl's Head

A SKYSCAN 1273 high-capacity 3D X-Ray Microscope (XRM) was used to scan Sculpture of Girl's Head, a clay sculpture by Maria Salmon. The SKYSCAN 1273's large sample chamber accepts samples up to 250 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length, larger than what can be scanned with a single detector field-of-view. After offset scanning in sections and putting the large format flat-panel detector in offset positions, 3D.SUITE software automatically and seamlessly stitches the oversized images together, and CTVox renders the 3D volume.
