SMARTLAB REACTOR X HIGH TEMPERATURE ATTACHMENT FOR REACTIVE GASSES

High temperature in reactive gas XRD upgrade for your SmartLab
Reactor X allows XRD measurements under high temperature (RT - 1000°C) in vacuum, inert gas, reactive gas, or a mixture of these. This corrosion-resistant attachment allows the use of a reactive gas environment for various in-situ measurements. Infrared heating enables rapid heating and cooling of the sample.
Specifications:
- Controlled sample temperature range: Room temperature to 1000°C
- Rapid ramping rate: Maximum 300°C/min
- Atmosphere: Air, vacuum, inert gas, or reactive gas
- Sample chamber: Separated sample chamber allowing sample preparation in a glove box
Who needs the Reactor X?
The Reactor X attachment is perfect for researchers working on in-situ studies of phase transitions and structural changes under elevated temperatures and reactive gases.
Catalysis scientists, solid-state chemists, and battery researchers will appreciate its ability to heat samples from room temperature to 1,000 °C in controlled atmospheres like hydrogen, ammonia, or humid air, all while performing in-situ XRD with rapid heating rates up to 300 °C/min. Its corrosion-resistant, separable sample chamber makes it ideal for glove‑box workflows.
By enabling real-time observation of gas–solid interactions and phase behavior under practical conditions, Reactor X significantly enhances the functionality and value of SmartLab systems. This additional capability can benefit shared facilities and service labs serving a broad user base.
