CHAMBER XL

A controlled environment
with modular sample fixtures.

Chamber XL provides an enclosed testing space with a glass cap and a modular fixture system for securing several devices. Gas connections, cell temperature control and electrical interfaces support experiments in air or an inert atmosphere.

  • Approximately 2 L internal volume
  • 15–80 °C cell temperature
  • Modular fixtures
  • Air or inert gas

Specifications refer to the XL Chamber user guide, revision 1.2, June 2021. Fixture and connection details depend on the supplied configuration.

Designed around the sample and its connections.

Gas interfaces

Two 1/8 BSP threaded gas ports are supplied as standard with one tube fitting and one plug. The gas setup uses 6 mm tubing and external inlet and outlet valves.

Modular device fixtures

The modular fixture system secures several devices within the chamber. The 44-pin DUT/TEC connectors provide sample-signal and temperature-control connections.

The glass cap aligns on locating pins and is secured with hand-tightened knobs. Keep seals and mating surfaces clean, position the fixture and contacts correctly, and tighten evenly according to the user guide.

Use in a ventilated indoor laboratory. Route nitrogen outlets to a suitable gas exhaust and follow the user guide for connection, purging and opening procedures. Avoid sudden pressure changes; glass covers can become hot during operation.
