advanced analytical instruments
Rigaku is a world-renowned developer and manufacturer of advanced analytical instruments that serve scientific research, industrial laboratories and technical facilities globally. With a legacy spanning over 70 years in X-ray technology and analytical instrumentation, Rigaku’s portfolio includes high-performance systems for materials characterisation, imaging, structural analysis and thermal evaluation. Their solutions empower research and quality control in sectors such as materials science, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, electronics, energy and industrial manufacturing.
At Focus Scientific, we supply and support a range of Rigaku instruments in Ireland, offering laboratories access to reliable, precision analytical tools backed by expert service and technical guidance.
Rigaku’s X-ray diffraction systems are industry-leading tools for understanding the crystalline structure of materials. These instruments are essential for applications such as phase identification, quantitative analysis, texture and residual stress evaluation, and thin film characterisation in both research and production environments.
A key example is the Rigaku SmartLab SE, a multipurpose XRD platform with built-in intelligent guidance software that streamlines setup and measurement, reduces alignment time and enhances data quality. Its flexible configuration supports powder diffraction, thin film analysis, small angle scattering and stress measurements, making it ideal for demanding materials research workflows.
Rigaku’s X-ray computed tomography systems provide non-destructive 3D imaging of internal structures at micron to sub-micron resolution. This capability is crucial for materials inspection, failure analysis, dimensional metrology and research applications where internal features must be visualised without altering the sample.
Rigaku CT solutions are widely adopted in laboratories tackling complex imaging challenges, from composite failure assessment to microscale inspection in life science and manufacturing settings.
Understanding how materials behave under changes in temperature is fundamental to product development, quality control and research. Rigaku’s thermal analysis instruments deliver accurate measurement of thermal transitions, decomposition behaviour and material stability.
These instruments support techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/STA) and thermomechanical analysis (TMA), providing laboratories with critical insights into thermal properties that influence formulation, performance and safety.
