A weighty word in plant science
UMP has a unique instrument, the presence of which few research laboratories in Kazakhstan can boast. The Bruker D8 Advance Eco diffractometer has joined the main stock of the scientific center.
Today it is one of the most modern laboratory diffractometers available on the market.
The diffractometer is an analytical instrument for solving various problems of structural analysis of metals.
Alexander Kozlov, Chief of Technical Service of the Research Center:
– The purchase of the German Bruker D8 Advance Eco diffractometer is an event not only for the RC, but for the whole plant! This is a breakthrough forward, a new era of X-ray diffractometry.
Sergey Udartsev, head of Beryllium laboratory of the RC:
– This diffractometer is one of the main instruments that a modern research laboratory should be equipped with. It is designed for X-ray diffractometric analysis of materials. In simple terms, unlike instruments that determine the chemical composition (i.e. what chemical elements are in the material under study), the Bruker D8 Advance Eco helps to determine in what spatial structure these elements are present.
The main “merit” of the Bruker D8 Advance Eco diffractometer is that it enables the RC specialists to conduct a wide range of research in the development of new products. For example, it has already proven itself in obtaining promising Beryllium-based materials, and, as the RC staff assure, it will still “say its weighty word”!
