Pharmaceuticals have the power to change the world for the better, but before they can ever do that, they need to be proven safe and trustworthy. Here at Rigaku, we strive to make this a reality as the leading global scientific analytical instrumentation company specializing in analytical X-ray and thermal analysis, and Raman spectroscopy.
Rigaku is here to help you navigate through the complex pharmaceutical lifecycle (discovery, pre-formulation, formulation, and manufacturing & control) with an extensive array of analytical equipment and experience. From atomic purity through molecular identity to structure/microstructure and phase behavior, we offer unique solutions for pharmaceutical professionals.
We provide a wide range of screens, equipment, and software to help with drug development and are the industry leader in protein crystallization kits and screens, as well as high-throughput protein and small-molecule crystal structure elucidation.
Rigaku supports the future of drug development with revolutionary small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) instruments specifically built for automated protein analysis and unique pair distribution function (PDF) approaches for small compounds.
Our offerings range from high power, high-performance wavelength dispersive WDXRF systems to benchtop EDXRF systems. We also have a range of X-ray diffractometers (XRD), which focus on wide range of measurement techniques available with multiple optical options to enhance the workflow of the systems.
Additionally, we specialize in X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) systems. X-ray CT is a non-destructive 3D imaging technique, and our submicron-resolution X-ray CT system with low energy characteristic radiations is ideal for investigating micro-structure of pharmaceutical tablets including, coatings, voids, cracks, aggregates, segregation, phase association and crystalline/amorphous phase morphology
