Cryojet (-180 to 210°C)

P-Jump Cell (0 to 120°C, 1 to 5000 bar)

Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC)

The Boehler-Almax Plate DAC is equipped with two pairs of diamonds (300um and 800um culet size). The achievable pressure depends on choice of the diamond anvil size. Anvils with 800um diameter are used to achieve pressures about 0.1-10GPa, as 300um anvils are capable of compressing up to 70-80GPa.

The guide for using the PlateDAC and sample loading are available on request.

In-vacuum flow cell. This vacuum chamber extends the WAXS nose conde, allowing samples in flow from e.g. peristalic pump, syringe pump or user-supplied fluid systems to be examined without background from the WAXS entrance window.
