DKSH Business Unit Technology and Bruker, renowned for their analytical X-ray solutions, have extended their distribution agreement in China.

Last year in April, the two companies strengthened their partnership in Asia by adding business cooperation in China with the distribution of the Bruker XRF products S2 PUMA and S2 POLAR. With the extended agreement, DKSH will also provide marketing, sales and after-sales services in China for the Bruker 3D X-ray Microscopy product line.

The 3D X-ray Microscopy product portfolio consist of three powerful benchtop systems and the SKYSCAN 2214, which is the highest resolution 3D X-ray microscope launched by Bruker, a pioneer in X-ray nanotomography. The entire SKYSCAN series offers 3D X-ray microscopy at exceptional resolution with unparalleled user experience. Utilizing the latest technologies in each of the components make the SKYSCAN series the most complete and versatile system on the market. DKSH aims to bring 3D X-ray Microscopy to customers across a range of material science industries, including geology, oil & gas exploration, polymers & composites, batteries & energy storage, pharma & packaging, automotive & aerospace, 3D printing and electronics.

Timothy Cline, Bruker AXS’ Vice President Global Sales, commented: “We are more than happy to announce the extension of our partnership with DKSH. DKSH has been a reliable business partner for us and has successfully grown our key products in local markets. Their wide access to industry segments, excellent market knowledge and coverage, as well as their customer-centric mindset, make them the right partner for us.”

Oliver Hammel, Managing Director, Business Unit Technology, DKSH China, added: “We are very pleased to extend our partnership with Bruker AXS in this promising high-tech segment. The extension of this strategic partnership proves that the state-of-the-art products and applications from Bruker paired with the unmatched sales coverage of DKSH can increase market participation and market share. This collaboration will enable us once more to enrich our product portfolio with more innovative and high-quality products and become an even more important solution provider to our customer base in China.”

X-ray CrystallographyX-ray crystallography is an analytical technique used to determine the arrangement of atoms in a crystal. Monochromatic x-rays are produced from a synchrotron or x-ray generator. An x-ray crystallography system uses a detector to measure the x-ray diffraction from the crystal. The information is used to generate a 3D image of the crystal.X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
