Sample Installation
3.1
Introduction
This chapter contains the following information:
3.2
•
Section 3.2 explains two popular
methods for mounting samples for
ACMS measurements.
•
Section 3.3 explains how to insert
a sample into the ACMS insert.
•
Section 3.4 explains how to remove
a sample from the ACMS insert.
Mounting the Sample
Samples for ACMS measurements may be mounted directly on the ACMS sample holder or on a clear
plastic drinking straw. Refer to sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, respectively. Clear plastic drinking straws are
available from Quantum Design.
NOTE
Quantum Design
The material out of which the ACMS sample rod is constructed has
susceptibility < 2 × 10-7 and can be detected by the ACMS. A clear
plastic drinking straw, on the other hand, adds a negligible magnetic
moment that is below the instrument’s noise floor. However, unlike
a drinking straw, the bucket on the ACMS sample holder can accommodate powered samples.
