Professor Laggner commented: "I am glad that the proven Hecus technology will be continued at Bruker, and I am looking forward to drive the Bruker SAXS business worldwide with our most comprehensive and attractive product portfolio."

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 Bruker's position in the SAXS market for materials and life-science research, as well as for food and drug analytics."
