Coolers specifically designed for powder diffraction
Whether cooling samples in capillaries in transmission geometry or flat-plate powder samples in reflection geometry, we have the solution for powder x ray diffraction.
For fast sample cooling and heating whilst avoiding icing issues for capillary samples, our Cryostream Compact has been designed specifically for powder systems with a standard temperature range of 80 – 500 Kelvin and a shorter nozzle to enable horizontal mounting in XRD enclosures.
For reflection mode geometries, we offer the Chimera and PheniX, cryostats; 70-525 Kelvin, and 12-290 Kelvin respectively. All systems incorporate our own GM coolers, thereby avoiding use of liquid nitrogen or helium. Our PheniX Front Loader allows instant and simple cold-loading of powder samples to a 40K non-vacuum environment.
