XAS Resources
We offer a comprehensive range of resources for our industrial users, including:
XAS resources
Technique
A wide range of beamlines
Diverse beamlines cover various XAS techniques and experimental conditions to suit your research needs.
Dedicated sample environments:
An extensive range of environments tailored for specific experiments.
Expert support and training
On-site assistance from Diamond’s spectroscopy experts during your experimental time.
Dedicated Laboratories
Equipped for wet, dry, and characterisation work, featuring essential sample preparation equipment:
Pellet press: To compress powdered materials into pellets for richer data acquisition
Drying oven: To prepare samples under optimal conditions before experiments
Centrifuge: To separate fluids, gases, or liquids based on density for clearer molecular spectra interpretation
Glove boxes: Two available (dry but solvent-tolerant Ar, and O2-free but water-tolerant) for safe handling of sensitive materials
Fume hoods: To protect against hazardous fumes, vapours, or dusts, with two fume hoods and a deionised water supply in each wet lab
Cryo-microtome: To cut extremely thin slices of material to optimise spectroscopy experiments
Streamlined protocols
Streamlined procedures for the storage and sample changeover of radioactive materials.
Training
Including our annual XAS workshop for new users and a summer school covering the full range of Diamond research techniques.
