Rigaku Corporation

Rigaku Corporation, founded in Tokyo in 1951, is the world's leading supplier of X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction instruments used in structural biology, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor research. Its synchrotron-beamline detectors and home-lab macromolecular crystallography systems have contributed to the determination of thousands of protein and small-molecule structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Rigaku CrysAlisPro software is an industry standard for single-crystal diffraction data reduction. The company collaborates extensively with crystallography consortia, university chemistry departments, and national X-ray facilities worldwide. Academic users benefit from Rigaku's application support, data-analysis training courses, and instrument-sharing agreements with synchrotron facilities.
