Features
- Ideal for both room-temperature structure determination and for diagnosing the cause of poor low-temperature diffraction.
- Easy crystal mounting for room-temperature data collection, with little risk of crystal loss or damage.
- Easy collection of both room and low-temperature data from a single crystal.
- Significantly less background X-ray scatter than glass capillaries.
- Easier crystal visualization and alignment, especially for small crystals.
No liquid/wall optical distortion as in traditional capillary mounting.
- Accurate and reproducible crystal positioning relative to the goniometer base.
- Suitable for automated alignment and data collection.
- One size tubing fits all. No need to stock multiple sizes.
- Tubing is reusable ⇒ Lower cost per measurement.
- Tubing is easily cut and sealed.
- Tubing is somewhat permeable, and can not be used for long-term crystal storage.
