Miniflex XpC
Compact XRD for Automated Quality Control and Laboratory Workflows
Fast, reliable X-ray diffraction analysis for industrial processes and automated laboratories
The Rigaku MiniFlex XpC is a compact X-ray diffractometer designed for routine quality control and automated materials analysis. Suitable for applications such as cement manufacturing, battery materials and pharmaceuticals, it helps laboratories and production facilities obtain consistent analytical results while reducing manual handling.
Available in benchtop and floor-standing configurations, the MiniFlex XpC combines powerful XRD technology with straightforward operation and flexible sample handling. Its compact design makes it suitable for laboratories with limited space as well as industrial environments requiring frequent measurements.
Efficient Sample Handling and Automated Analysis
A built-in sample changer accommodates eight samples, allowing measurements to be performed with less operator intervention. For larger sample volumes, an optional robotic system extends capacity to 24 samples. Integration with robotic arms or conveyor systems provides additional flexibility for automated processes.
Rigaku's EasyX software simplifies everyday measurements through an intuitive interface, automated data analysis and clear pass/fail assessments. Operators can evaluate results without extensive XRD expertise, while trend visualization helps identify changes in measured parameters over time.
High-Performance XRD in a Compact System
The MiniFlex XpC combines an 800 W X-ray source with a horizontal θ-θ goniometer for reliable routine measurements.
Two detector options address different analytical requirements:
- D/teX Ultra250: Supports rapid data acquisition, particularly useful when processing large numbers of samples.
- XSPA-200 ER: Provides enhanced energy resolution and reduced background interference, particularly for samples containing transition metals.
Ready for Automated and Autonomous Laboratories
Beyond conventional quality control, the MiniFlex XpC can become part of integrated laboratory environments. Compatibility with Rigaku's LabLinc Studio enables the instrument to participate in automated and autonomous experimental workflows, connecting XRD measurements with broader laboratory processes.
