Aeris

The future is compact

Prepare to be surprised by our highly accurate, fast XRD system: Aeris. Precise results can be ready in less than five minutes. Such rapid acquisition of high-quality data has only been previously achieved by large, floorstanding xrd systems. The compact Aeris is small, powerful, and the first of its kind. 

Take the one-step sample loading in combination with its controlled user access and the option to design data collection programs offline, the result is a practical and versatile system for all users, from beginners to experts.   

No matter where your application falls on the spectrum between versatility and specialization, Aeris can support you.

Features and benefits

Future-proof

As a modern, multi-purpose* diffractometer, Aeris’ modular design makes optional upgrades and additions a breeze – and guaranteed product availability means peace of mind for the future. 

*Non-ambient, reflection, transmission, grazing incidence, 2D diffraction.

Future-proof

Plug-and-play simplicity

With Aeris, not every user needs XRD expertise. Its intuitive interface, pre-loaded measurement programs, and easy sample placement make reproducible great results accessible to all.

Plug-and-play simplicity

Easy, reproducible sample loading

Aeris’ precision-built sample holders and external loading system make it easy for all users to load samples correctly every time – for every sample type, from powders to solids. 

Easy, reproducible sample loading

Compatibility with regulated environments

With controlled user access and compliance software, Aeris is ready for all regulated workflows (according to 21 CFR Part 11 regulation). Multiple users are easily managed.

Compatibility with regulated environments

Fast and accurate

With its classic goniometer and onboard computer, Aeris’ high-performance components and precision sample stages deliver accurate results in as few as five minutes.

Software solutions

Aeris instruments and measurements are run by its onboard data collection software with preloaded measurement programs. Users can also write their own programs. 

For phase quantification, amorphous content and more, the onboard RoboRiet software can perform automated analysis providing immediate on-screen viewing and transfer to results databases. 

Measurement and analysis can also be automated via X’Pert Industry. Industry offers a unique scripting facility to customize data collection and calibration-line based quantification methods for any process control application. Result reporting is fully configurable also for LIMS systems. 

Alternatively, you can perform your own in-depth analyses using our software packages, HighScore Plus or Stress Plus

For regulatory compliance and data integrity, Omnitrust covers your user management and data audit requirements in a regulated environment.

RoboRiet

A special ‘execution-only’ implementation of the Rietveld method and profile fits for XRD phase quantification, amorphous quantification and more. 

RoboRiet

Industry

Software for routine X-ray diffraction analysis in an industrial environment, ranging from non-regulated to fully regulated, and from manually controlled to completely automated systems.

Industry

HighScore Plus

After identification of all phases present in your sample, this all-in-one software suite continues to support your analysis from quantification with or without the Rietveld method to profile fitting and pattern treatment.

HighScore Plus

Stress Plus

Stress Plus software is dedicated to the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of residual stress in polycrystalline coatings. The software performs sin²ψ residual stress analysis using both single-directional and multi-directional techniques. 

Stress Plus

Expertise editions

Aeris makes it easy to characterise and analyze any sample across both research and industrial environments. But sometimes, your application needs a specialist solution – or you need your alternative to a benchtop xrd system to be calibrated and ready for action.
