Support Laboratories

The nearest peripheral laboratories for Beamline I12 are Laboratories 68 and 69.

Laboratory 69 is a primary laboratory for all beamline users and contains Powder Cabinet, Fume Hood, small Fridge, tables for sample preparation, small balances, simple ultrasonic bath for cleaning, magnetic stirrer hot plate.

Laboratory 68 contains two microscopes which can be used by users.

The available lab dishware is very limited in the laboratories so users of Beamline I12-JEEP should bring necessary dishware with them for scheduled beamtime to avoid problems during their beamtime.

Please inform your Local Contact about your requirements for laboratory services well in advance before your beamtime.

Overview of equipment in Laboratories 68 and 69:

View of EH1 (second view point V2 on Laboratory 69 schematic above). Fume Hood, chemical tables for sample preparation T1; ultrasonic bath.

View of EH1 (third view point V3 on Laboratory 69 schematic above). Chemical table for sample preparation T3; Powder Cabinet with small balances inside; heavy-duty table.

View of EH1 (fourth view point V4 on Laboratory 69 schematic above). Sink; deionised water supply; Fume Hood; Powder Cabinet with small balances inside; heavy-duty table.

Powder cabinet in Lab 69 is preferable place for work with various powders and basic solvents.

Fume Hood in Lab 69 is preferable place for chemical synthesis. Fume Hood has multiple standard UK power sockets for various equipment which can be placed inside.

Deionized water supply located in Lab 69 near sink and first-aid kit.

Under-bench dry oven ED115 in Lab 69 under heavy-duty table. Left: closed oven; right: open oven.

Description of under-bench dry oven:

• Air atmosphere only;
• Temperature range: 30^oC - 300^oC;
• Download full manual and operation manual;
• Available lab dishware is very limited on the beamline so users should bring necessary dishware with them for scheduled beamtime to avoid problems during their beamtime;
• Users must remove all items from the oven before leaving the Diamond and make sure that no samples left in the oven.

Small Balances and Magnetic stirrer hot plate in Lab 69.

Reflected light microscope and Stereo light microscope in Lab 68 with digital camera which can be easily transferred between these two microscopes to enable saving images.
