Bruker announced that it has acquired the assets of Hecus X-ray Systems, a company focused on analytical instrumentation for Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) based on advanced Kratky technology. Financial details were not disclosed.
The acquisition will enable Bruker to expand its product offering for SAXS with the former Hecus MICROcaliX product line, which has won the 2011 R&D 100 award for its innovative combination of laboratory SAXS and microcalorimetry. By integrating MICROcaliX Kratky optics with state-of-the-art Bruker IS X-ray sources and VANTEC X-ray detectors for optimized performance and reliability, Bruker can now bring a unique, powerful SAXS system to the nanoanalytics market.
Along with the acquisition of the MICROcaliX product line, Professor Peter Laggner, founder and former Managing Director of Hecus, has joined Bruker AXS as 'Director - Nanostructure Solutions'.
