Works with 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The future is compact

Accessories
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!
