Enclosed Flow Cell in the Beamline Vacuum Chamber

The X-ray Liquid Flow sample holder is the first in-situ liquid-phase X-ray platform designed to characterize  liquid-phase reactions and transformations in high-resolution synchrotron beamline chambers that require high vacuum. Our patented precision-machined chip loading mechanism operates without screws, facilitating reproducible sample loading, and window alignment. This simplifies training, workflows, and spectrograph acquisition, guaranteeing reproducible sample preparation and in-situ synchrotron methodologies.

Designed for Advanced High-resolution Liquid-phase Dynamics Research

Investigate mechanisms underpinning the dynamics of particle self-assembly, biomineralization and dissolution, corrosion, nanoparticle-MOF structures, temperature-dependent reactions, thin film electrochemistry and battery materials using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), (scanning) transmission X-ray microscopy, (S)TXM, and other synchrotron techniques.

Understand Mechanisms Behind Liquid-Phase Transformations

The transformations that occur at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces are often microscale and highly transient, but nanostructure design is highly dependent on the mechanisms that drive these transformations. The X-ray Liquid Flow sample holder applies stimuli such as temperature, electrical bias, and liquid mixing to uncover reaction pathways, structural transformations, and degradation mechanisms to develop and characterize the next generation of functional nanostructures.
