Synchrotron-level insights, without leaving your lab: Discover Empyrean XAS

Many material properties, from catalytic activity to battery performance, depend on chemical state and electronic structure. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) delivers a powerful element-specific probe of electronic structure and local atomic environments. However, its routine use is often constrained by limited access to synchrotron facilities or specialized laboratory instruments.

Now, you can add XAS capabilities to your lab via the Empyrean, our multipurpose and future-proof X-ray analysis platform. 

Empyrean XAS delivers element-specific insight into oxidation state, local atomic coordination, and electronic structure directly in your own lab. Run more experiments, screen more samples, and reduce reliance on limited synchrotron beamtime. 

5 reasons to choose XAS with Empyrean

• Synchrotron-level XAS, now in your lab: Forget costly, crowded synchrotron beamtime. Lab-based XAS enables high-quality experiments in-house.
• One platform, many techniques: The modular Empyrean system supports multiple X-ray techniques, offering a future-proof investment option that adapts along with your research needs.
• Understand both structure and chemical/electronic state: With Empyrean, you can combine XRD’s structural analysis with XAS electronic characterization, revealing more insights into your material’s behavior.
• Lower your XAS analysis timelines: Accelerate your research by running experiments in-house, unlocking quicker iteration and maximizing your ROI.
• Designed for advanced research: Empyrean XAS offers a practical pathway for incorporating XAS into your materials characterization workflows, enabling ultra-sensitive detection of transition and catalytic materials.

Discover the power of XAS at our launch webinar

In this webinar, we’ll officially launch the latest XAS solution for the Empyrean and demonstrate how you can conduct routine X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurements with high data quality and streamlined workflows. We will showcase practical workflows, example datasets, and application cases across materials science fields such as energy materials, catalysis, and advanced functional materials. Join us to discover how integrating XAS into your laboratory can accelerate research, improve productivity, and provide deeper insights into material structure and chemistry.
