Dr. Frank Burgaezy, President of the Bruker AXS division,
added: “I am convinced that our expanded SAXS product portfolio that now
includes our established high-end NANOSTAR systems and the acquired dedicated
high-flux systems based on advanced Kratky technology will further strengthen

as well as for food and drug analytics.”
