13.2.4.2. Specifications
Exposed Materials:
Membrane: FFKM.
Stage surface: Stainless Steel
Sample Hold down: Embedded magnets.
Electrical: Stage surface is not grounded (floating) and sufficiently isolated to be safe for use with
high voltage applications. .
Cleaning: When mounted to a CES cell body, it can be filled with nearly any solvent compatible with
FFKM and Stainless steel and quartz. When disassembled, wipe with a solvent soaked swab or cloth,
but keep liquids away from the back of the device and the circuit board connector.
Temperature range: -10ºC to 120ºC as measured by a sensor embedded several mm below the surface
on which the sample sits.
Liquid use: Safe for use with samples in liquid droplets.
13.3. Tutorial: Disassembling the Sample Stage from the Cell Body
This tutorial will go through the steps of removing one sample from a cell body and replacing it with
another. This tutorial starts with the combination of a gas cell body attached to an ambient stage, and
replaces that ambient stage with a heater stage.
Your cell body and sample stage may differ, but the way the two attach is universal.
