Versatility Meets Performance: DECTRIS POLLUX on Idonano XRD instruments

On May 19, 2026, we traveled to China to meet our OEM partner IDONANO, a pioneer in China's domestic high-end XRD market. During this visit, we held a workshop giving detailed insights into the features, advantages, and benefits of POLLUX detectors. Following the workshop, we commissioned a prototype and performed the first successful tests of the new POLLUX detector on IDONANO’s laboratory XRD systems. POLLUX is an important milestone in our partnership and will unlock unprecedented performance on IDONANO’s instruments to address emerging challenges in materials science, semiconductor metrolo

Introducing POLLUX: Our Most Versatile XRD detector yet

We’re proud to unveil POLLUX™, the latest addition to our family of laboratory X-ray detectors - and our most versatile one yet. Built on decades of expertise in Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) technology, POLLUX was specifically developed for laboratory XRD, empowering scientists and instrument developers with fast, accurate, and energy-discriminating X-ray detection.

Celebrating Our Global Impact In Life Sciences and Drug Development On World’s Health Day

April 7, 2024 BADEN, April 7, 2024 - On the World Health Day, we commemorate the global impact of our technology, enabling structural biologists worldwide to make important breakthroughs in public health. Since the first PILATUS X-ray detector revolutionized biological research at synchrotron light sources over fifteen years ago, progress in life sciences, drug discovery and drug development accelerated, including the development of vaccines. This faster, more structure-based approach to do biological research led to many important discoveries. As a pioneering technique in Structural Biology,

EXAFS: From The Synchrotron Beamline to Your Laboratory

Performing X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements with a laboratory spectrometer is no longer reserved only for synchrotron beamlines. A spectrometer developed at the BLiX lab (Technical University Berlin) has now been commercialized by HP Spectroscopy.
