Shearing of clay minerals in suspension
Investigation of smectite suspension shear behavior through SAXS measurements performed with the Xenocs Couette stage Clay minerals are a group of hydrous aluminosilicate minerals that are commonly found in soils, sediments, and rocks. The most common types include kaolinite, illite, and smectite, each with its own distinct characteristics and uses.…
Mass specific surface area determined by SAXS
In this Application Note, the XSACT software package is used to process the SAXS data and determine the specific surface area of SiO2 powder samples. Both the invariant and the absolute-scale methods are employed, and the results are compared with the obtained from BET measurements and analysis.
Characterization of protein intermolecular interactions
SAXS was used to study the effect of pH and protein concentration on the self-interaction process of a BSA system in solution Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a non-glycosylated globular protein found in bovines. It is widely used in drug delivery, immunodiagnostic procedures and in clinical chemistry due to its…
Focused beam for residual stress and texture analysis
Residual stress analysis and texture measurements obtained on thin film samples with the interchangeable auxiliary source (AuX source) of the Xeuss 3.0.
Measurements and analysis of extremely thin single protein fibers
Silks are well known natural protein fibers, spun by spiders, silkworms and other insects, that have been used for centuries in the textile industry due to...
Characterization of protein self-association
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a non-glycosylated globular protein found in bovines. It is widely used in drug delivery, immunodiagnostic procedures and in clinical chemistry due to its low cost and...
IACIS 2022

Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon uses the Xeuss 3.0 SAXS/WAXS instrument to boost research
"Even after more than a year, we still did not explore all possibilities our Xeuss provides. Until now, the device fulfils and even exceeds all expectations we had", Dr Jürgen Markmann, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.
