PRESS RELEASE
SHIMADZU and DECTRIS Ltd. Signed Frame Contract
about the Delivery of DETECTORS For SHIMADZU
X-Ray Diffraction Systems
Kyoto (Japan), June 2014: Hiroyuki Murakita, General Manager of
X-ray/Surface Analysis Business Unit at SHIMADZU Corporation and
Clemens Schulze-Briese, CSO at DECTRIS Ltd. signed a frame contract
about the delivery of detectors for the x-ray diffraction systems of
SHIMADZU.
Due to the outstanding reputation of DECTRIS detectors in the x-ray
diffraction market, SHIMADZU signed a delivery agreement for
detectors for their x-ray diffraction systems. Hiroaki Furukawa, Product
Manager for X-ray products at Shimadzu says: “The detector has 1280
channels. We can use this point to realize the faster analysis of our
XRD customers for various applications, such as the quality control of
chemical materials including pharmaceutical, the analysis of catalyst,
and environmental applications. We developed the software for
controlling this detector and succeeded to maximize the performance
of the detectors.”
Clemens Schulze-Briese says: “Our knowledge in the synchrotron
market enables us to provide high reliable and sensitive detectors for
the laboratory market. We believe that the customers receiving the
systems from SHIMADZU including our detectors will be very satisfied
and happy to work with such a high performance x-ray diffractometer”
