The D8 Advance from Bruker is reliable, multi-purpose setup for high quality XRD measurements. The setup is equipped with a Cu X-ray source and a Lynx-eye energy dispersive detector, which can work in 0D and 1D modes, depending on the application. It is currently equipped with the XRK900 heating stage from Anton Paar, that allows for heating powder and bulk samples up to 900°C, under various atmosphere, up to 10 bars.
