Rotational holders

**Anti-precipitation of large particles :: Multi-Positional Rotation cells **



  • The Rotational sample holders (Code: SH-Rot-1) tumble a sealed sample cell with the center of the rotation at the center of the sample.
  • This tumbling motion prevents settling of precipitates that form over the time-scale of the SANS/VSANS measurement.
  • The instrument has only enough space for 4 holders.
  • Two styles of sample drums (black and write) are available.
  • The drum pictured holds circular and rectanglar Hellma© cells.
  • Temperature control from 5°C to 75°C is under developing.
