HCS622 Series Vacuum & Gas Tight Hot & Cold Stages
Instec's HCS622 Series Vacuum
and Gas Tight Stages are designed for those applications where both temperature and atmosphere control are critical. Using a silver block, these stages provide a wide temperature range and good temperature uniformity. The "G" type stage provides a closed chamber for gas purge to avoid condensation or oxidation. The "V" type stage can also be used with a controlled atmospheric environment but in addition can be evacuated to low pressures to study vacuum processes, freeze drying, and more. Up to 8 optional electric feed-through leads are available for sample connection and probing.
