Features and Benefits

The new catalyst stage from Linkam has been designed to study catalytic reactions at high temperature and pressure. Samples are mounted on a virtually unreactive disposable ceramic fabric filters placed inside the ceramic heating element which is capable of heating samples from ambient up to 1000°C.

The carrier gas is introduced into the stage via a high pressure 1/16 gas line. The gas is then partially pre heated and passes through the sample and ceramic fabric filter. The tube of the heater is very narrow to prevent dead space and hot enough to prevent any condensation of the gas before it is available for gas analysis. Highly corrosive gases can be used and even highly conductive gases such as Helium with no compromise on temperature performance. All parts of the cell in contact with the sample and gas are selected for their un-reactive properties. The majority of the parts in contact with sample and carrier gas are either ceramic or stainless steel. A variety of different lid window materials are available so that reflected light microscopy, Raman and IR techniques can be used.

linkam catalyst stage CCR1000

The base plate can be modified to fit either Marzhauser or Prior Motorized stages. Regular Linkam stage clamps can be used to mount to the substage of IR and standard light microscopes.

The temperature is accurately controlled by the T95-Linksys or T95-Linkpad temperature programmer via the S-type platinum/rhodium thermocouple. This new controller enables the stage to heat samples at an incredible 200C/min.

The programmer contains a d.c power supply - to eliminate electromagnetic interference- and solid state heater protection to prevent accidental damage to the stage. Thermocouple linearization (linearized to 0.1°C and displayed to 1°C) and cold junction compensation are performed inside the T95-LinkPad controller.
