| Equipment or Component | Comments |
|---|---|
| In Air Operation | Use of a nosecone limits the q-range available |
| In Vacuum Operation | Sealed samples containers are needed to avoid evaporation. System vents to 0.5 mbar. |
| Capillary Rack |
|
| Solids Rack |
6mm disc in Mail in holder, up to 45 postions 4 x 20mm, 5 x 10mm 16 x 5mm discs in Xenocs Holder |
| Gel Holder | 8 positions for ∅ 4mm x 0.5, 1 and 2mm thickness |
| Powder Holder | 15 x 6mm x 0.75mm spacing. Kapton Disks hold sample in place. |
| Liquid Capillary Flow Cell | One sample position flow set up, manual or automatic sample injection possible. in-line pH monitoring avalible. Please contact beamline team before submitting. |
| Peltier Temperature Stage | 5-120 ºC Range ±5ºC precission, Solids/Capillaries/Gels holders available. For 1.5 & 2.0mm capillaries only. 5-90 ºC for aquious samples. |
| 2 or 3 Axis GiSAXS Stage |
2 Axis stage can support multiple samples on a 25x100 mm platform, and can be used in-air or in vacuum. 3 Axis stage can only support one sample on a ∅ 60 mm platform and must be used in vacuum but allows rotation. ±3°; precision= 0.002°. Statics or Peltier. Humidity chamber and supply available for 2-axis stage. |
| Linkam DSC stage |
-185--650 ºC range. Temperature data not integrated with SAXS data. Manual time-coreallation of SAXS images with temperature ramps required |
| P-jump cell | P-Jump Cell (ambiant temprature; labSAXS heating options to be developed. 50 to 5000 bar). Mo source only. Very long exposures required. Please contact beamline team before submitting. |
| Linkam capillary stage |
-185--550 ºC range. Temperature data not integrated with SAXS data. Manual time-coreallation of SAXS images with temperature ramps required. |
