Sample handling
Aeris combines easy external sample handling with clear, simple, push-button operation. Aeris gives you a full range of upgradeable handling options to place your sample on its external sample platform. The modular build of the Aeris system enables you to scale up or down as your needs evolve, including the throughput of your laboratory. Our sample handling options serve a range of requirements, from manual sample loading with a single position to automatic loading of multiple positions in high-throughput environments. Aeris is also designed to fully integrate into your own automated sample laboratory. Sample holders are easily and precisely handled via external positioning stations and can be changed without disturbing ongoing measurements.
Manual sample loading
For users with low sample volumes or infrequent sample changes, the external sample platform allows you to load and replace a single sample while still taking advantage of the automated transfer into the XRD measurement area for accurate sample handling, each and every time.
6-position sample changer
The 6-position sample changer enables batch processing of 6 samples at a time, increasing efficiency and reducing the frequency of operator intervention. Ideal for medium-throughput laboratories.
High-capacity sample changer
For high-throughput environments, look no further than the Aeris High-Capacity Sample Changer. Its proven robotic sample handling technology enables unattended analysis of over 60 samples, delivering 50% better resource efficiency.
Automated sample handling
Full integration into multi-system automated labs where the Aeris instrument is operated through UAI interface. Samples are provided to the instrument either with belt automation connected to our automatable changer or with robotic handling, where a robot arm places samples directly on the changer platform.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To meet this need, industry-specific, tailored editions of Aeris are also available out-of-the-box. These specialized industry versions come with customizable expertise packages, pre-calibrated for your specific analytical methods or sample material. Your Aeris will be prepared for automated measurement and analysis using the built-in Roboriet software. Ready when you are!
