AXT Pty Ltd

AXT has become the exclusive distributor for Canadian-based ELEMISSION. They specialise in continuous LIBS scanning technology that is suited to large-scale micro characterisation for industrial applications e.g. minerals and alloy analysis.

TESCAN have recently installed the first TIMA-X automated mineralogy system in China at Peking University. Their geology department is the top geological institute in China and the instrument will be used for fundamental geology research.

AXT will be distributing LUMICKS' range of optical tweezer systems, designed specifically to monitor biological interactions at the molecular level. They will provide researchers in proteomics, genomics & drug discovery with new insights.

The first 6th generation Rigaku MiniFlex benchtop XRD system in Australia has recently been installed at the University of Sydney. It will be used as a teaching tool giving experience working with the type of instrument that is used in industry.

Intertek, a multi-national testing company recently undertook a development program to assist Orbis to refine their OM50 jaw crusher for sample preparation in the mining industry. The performance of the system was so good that they bought the system!

Researchers at the Westmead Research Hub received a technology boost with the installation of super resolution microscope from Oxford Nanoimaging. The new capabilities will allow them to investigate cellular interactions as the nanoscale.

Crystallographers at the University of Melbourne received a boost following the installation of a state-of-the-art small molecule X-ray diffraction (XRD) machine.

Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific have recently integrated an YXLON SMART EVO 160D into their operation to non-destructively and safely examine explosive detonators for the mining industry.

AXT have installed of a mosquito automated liquid handling system at Victoria University of Wellington. It will help researchers to probe the atomic structure of proteins by automatically preparing hundreds of samples for drug discovery studies.

AXT have recently installed a Synergy-S protein crystallography system from Rigaku Oxford Diffraction at the University of Western Australia for a team lead by Prof. Alice Vrielink. This will help their research into next generation therapeutics.
