Capillary Cell

Flow setup for mounting tube reactor (diameters 0.2-3 mm), Borosilicate glass (up to 500°C) or quartz glass (>1000°C).

Local heating of sample by resistive coils: Kanthal (700°C) or Mo₂Si (1200°C).

Open geometry allows multiple applications: transmission/fluorescence XAS, XRD, TXM, etc. Pressure up to 20 bar.

High-pressure Tube Reactors  

Flow setups for mounting tube reactors (diameters 3-6 mm), beryllium or glassy carbon. 

System pressure rating up to 80 bar.

Homogeneous heating of whole reactor by heat cartridges inside steel block (700°C) or inside tube furnace (1100°C).

Open geometry (except for tube furnace) allows multiple applications: transmission/fluorescence XAS, XRD.
