Auxiliary equipment
- Flow-through cell for reproducible filling and removal of samples (required amount 200-500 microL).
- Peltier element for accurate control of temperature (-40-120 C).
- Linkam stage for wide temperature scans (-196 – 300 C).
- Integrated stopped-flow apparatus for rapid mixing and time-resolved measurements of kinetics.
- Option for characterization of nanostructured surfaces (GI-SAXS)
