Rigaku Academic Support Program

Extend your Research Capabilities with Rigaku

C-Therm is the exclusive distributor of Rigaku’s thermal analysis line in North America. Rigaku is a global leader in analytical and industrial instrumentation technology. The purpose of this collaborative Academic Support Program* is to increase the accessibility of Rigaku’s thermal analysis equipment for research institutions. It includes:

	25% Discount for sale of one single instrument (e.g. STA)
	35% Discount for sale of two instrument configurations (e.g. STA + DSC)
	40% Discount for sale of three instrument configurations (e.g. STA + DSC + TMA)
	One (1) $750 USD student bursary towards travel and registration costs to present eligible material(s) at a technical conference or symposium**.
	Free virtual training with a C-Therm Subject Matter Expert.

*External commercially purchased products such as refrigerated cooling unit are not eligible for this proposed academic discount program. They must be imported directly from the manufacturer by C-Therm or stocks by C-Therm. Offer valid in North America only and exclusive for researchers directly affiliated with or employed by recognized and accredited academic institutes, colleges, or universities. C-Therm reserves the right to determine eligibility for the program.  All bursaries, credits and discounts expire one (1) year from the date of purchase. Special Academic Support program cannot be combined or stacked with other offers, discounts, or credits. 

**Presentation must feature Rigaku thermal analysis data to be eligible and submission must be approved by C-Therm.

Sample Observation Feature

Rigaku’s Sample Observation unit for TG-DTA and DSC provides a visual timeline of thermal events occurring for the sample via a instantaneous graphical display of results during a heating or cooling cycle. This presentation of results is coupled with synchronized recorded video observation of the sample. This powerful combination of results is invaluable for researchers when connecting changes in physical properties of the sample with thermal events such as melting and/or crystallization.

Thermo plus EVO2 Series

Rigaku’s Thermo plus EVO2 analysis software is highly functional, stable, and user-friendly, with the capability of controlling up to eight Rigaku thermal analysis instruments and is compatible with older models of Rigaku instruments as well. The software is license-free, and can be installed on both the control PC and a user’s PC for increased ease and compatibility. For additional details and information on the system and software, please reach out to a C-Therm representative at support@ctherm.com.

About Rigaku

Since its inception in 1951, Rigaku has been at the forefront of analytical and industrial instrumentation technology. Today, with hundreds of major innovations to their credit, the Rigaku group of companies are world leaders in the fields of general X-ray diffraction, thin film analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, small angle X-ray scattering, protein and small molecule X-ray crystallography, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray optics, semiconductor metrology, X-ray sources, computed tomography, nondestructive testing and thermal analysis.

In thermal analysis, since launching the Thermoflex line in 1957 and developing the world’s first thermogravimetry based on the differential thermobalance principle in 1981, Rigaku has continually developed and marketed thermal analyzers for more than 60 years, producing a long, rich history of innovation in the field. Alongside general purpose thermal analysis, Rigaku is constantly developing cutting edge hyphenated instruments, sample controlled thermal analysis, humidity-controlled thermal analysis and sample observation thermal analysis. They are consistently providing improved solutions to match the needs of customers.
