Bruker AXS Announces SMART BREEZE(TM), an Affordable and Exceptionally Easy-to-Use X-Ray Crystallography System for Automated Mo

Bruker AXS Inc. today announces the launch of SMART
BREEZE(TM), a compact and affordable X-ray crystallography system,
which features Bruker AXS' latest addition to its award-winning X-ray
detectors, the air-cooled SMART BREEZE 4K CCD detector, as well as a
compact goniometer and X-ray generator. The SMART BREEZE system
features the ground-breaking new AutoStructure(TM) software for fully
automatic 3D structure determination of organic and coordination
molecules from X-ray data.
   The SMART BREEZE's advanced CCD technology allows it to be
air-cooled for low maintenance while offering a very high level of
data quality, superior to most conventional water-cooled detectors.
This novel system with its intuitive and automated software for
structure determination is ideal for synthetic chemistry research
groups, as well as for chemistry teaching facilities.
   Dr. Michael Ruf, Director of Chemical Crystallography Software at
Bruker AXS, stated: "X-ray crystallography has never been easier.
After having defined the high-performance end of the chemical
crystallography market for many years with cutting-edge hardware and
software technology, we are now very excited to be able to offer a
lower-cost system with truly automated, robust structure determination
software. The innovative SMART BREEZE system finally opens the door to
crystallographic structure determination for non-experts. We expect
that easy and fast access to unambiguous structural confirmation of
new compounds will have a rather significant impact on the world of
synthetic chemistry."
