Thermo Scientific ARL EQUINOX 100 X-ray Diffractometer

Compact, powerful, and flexible benchtop XRD system for routine and advanced applications

The ARL EQUINOX 100 is a compact benchtop X-ray diffractometer (XRD) designed for quality control, academic research, and routine analysis. It features a unique curved position-sensitive (CPS) detector that enables real-time acquisition of the entire diffraction pattern — with no moving parts and no scanning required.

Key Features

• Real-time acquisition: entire diffraction pattern captured in seconds
• Wide angular range: up to 110° 2θ without moving components
• No external water cooling: no chiller required
• Standard power outlet: plug-and-play with no special electrical setup
• Low-power microfocus X-ray source: high intensity and efficient optics
• Versatile measurement: reflection and transmission modes
• Easy installation: suitable for labs, mobile labs, and field vans

Sample Handling & Accessories

• Fixed non-spinning sample stage
• Spinning stages for powders, bulks, filters, and pressed pellets
• Capillary sample stage for transmission mode
• Controlled atmosphere sample stage
• 6-position automatic sample changer
• Dedicated stage for thin film analysis (GIXRD, XRR)
• Temperature-controlled stages (–10 °C to 500 °C)

Typical Applications
