For the analysis of liquids or solids between -190ºC and 250ºC
The Variable Temperature Cell Holder P/N GS21525 is the ideal accessory to use for the transmission study of liquid
or solid samples at various temperatures ranging from -190ºC to 250ºC.
The Variable Temperature Cell Holder consists of a vacuum jacket with two window ports and a set of windows (NaCl as standard) which contains a refrigerant dewar/cell holder assembly. Liquid or solid sample holders are inserted into the heating block part of the dewar/cell holder and the assembled cell is operated within a vacuum environment maintained by the outer jacket.
Using a combination of refrigerant and control from the cell block heaters any temperature from -190ºC to 250ºC can be achieved. Choice of window materials for both the jacket and sample cell holders allows for use of this accessory in the UV, visible and IR regions.
The Variable Temperature Cell Holder is supplied with a high stability controller with a factory fitted option for control via RS232, RS485 or USB connectivity if ordered.
For certain applications such as Raman, Fluorescence and UV spectral measurements Specac offer a four window port version on the vacuum jacket as the Variable Temperature Cuvette Holder (GS21530), special quartz glass cuvettes are used to contain a liquid sample. The four window ports allow for collection of the scattered radiation from a cuvette cell at a 90 deg incident angle as well as at a 180 deg (standard tranmission) as measured from the Variable Temperature Cell Holder (GS21525)
