Safety & Handling
• Linkam stages have EXTREMELY fragile
platinum leads; please do not touch or move.
• When heating above 300
o
C, stages require
water cooling. Contact DP staff (2-9490).
• Regarding gas purging:
– Do not use hydrogen or helium (thermal
conductivity)
– Dilute any reactive gases with 95% inert gas
– Use only mixtures containing less than 20%
oxygen
– Flow less than 60 CC/min
• If using LN2 sample cooling, please follow all
APS procedures for safe handling of LN2.
• The black capillary tube on the LN2 dewar lid
is fragile; please handle carefully.
• Disconnect the LN2 dewar from the stage
before heating above 300
o
C.
Hardware Operation
• Make all connections
• If cooling sample with LN2:
– Fill the dewar approximately 2/3 full.
– The LNP95 must be switched on before the
T95/CI95 system controller.
– The stage chamber needs to be purged of
air before starting a cooling experiment.
