The Chemistry Department at Marquette University is proud to announce the addition of a new Bruker D8-Venture single crystal diffractometer to its X-ray Diffraction Facility. This state-of-the-art instrument features a strong, highly-focused X-ray beam and sensitive, shuttler-less detector, making it ideal for elucidating the structures of both synthetic compounds and biomolecules. In addition to supporting research and instructional activities on the Marquette campus, the D8-Venture will be accessible to academic and industrial partners in Southeast Wisconsin. Funds to purchase the instrument were provided by a Major Research Instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation (CHE-2320762).
