Description
The NASA/NSSC is seeking a cold stage for x-ray diffraction for Panalytical Empyrean instrument and installation into existing equipment. The vendor shall provide a low-temperature measurement chamber that integrates into the Panalytical Empyrean instrument using compatible adaptors and feedthroughs. The chamber should be capable of transmission and reflection x-ray diffraction measurements at temperatures from -190 to 600 °C. The vendor shall also provide on-site installation into existing equipment. The period of performance is by June 20, 2026.
Key requirements include:
• Low-temperature measurement chamber that integrates into Panalytical Empyrean instrument
• Non-ambient measurement chamber capable of transmission and reflection x-ray diffraction measurements at temperatures from -190 to 600 °C
• Compatible with battery cell fixture and current XRD sample holders
• On-site installation into existing equipment
