Saturn CCD systems

The Rigaku Saturn CCD systems are the most advanced single crystal X-ray diffraction systems for small molecule data collection and structural determination available today. A system includes a sensitive Saturn CCD detector, a flexible AFC three or four-axis goniometer, a reliable sealed tube or rotating anode generator, optics, and all the software and peripherals required to fully integrate the system. 

Rigaku designs and manufactures all of the major components of the Saturn CCD systems and fully integrates them into a complete X-ray diffraction system. Rigaku's own CCD manufacturing facility ensures incorporation of the latest advances into Rigaku detectors and guarantees our ability to provide long term support. 

When tomorrow's funding relies on today's results, a sensitive, fast, accurate, versatile and reliable X-ray system is essential. The Saturn CCD systems fulfill all of these requirements and are backed by Rigaku technical expertise and support to ensure that you get the results you need when you need them.
