The SANS demountable cells have fixed path lengths of 1 mm, 2 mm, and 4 mm. '0 mm' path length cells with no fixed spacing are available for non-fluid samples.
A circular sample table, for mounting large equipment, is available at each of the SANS instruments. A linear translation stage is available at all instruments, but the mounting of the slide varies from instrument-to-instrument.
The 9CB is a commercially available system using thermo-electric heaters to dive temperature changes. Three temperature zones are available, each with three sample positions.
The 9 sample holder has no temperature control, but also has no window material in the beam path, offering lower background as compared to other holders.
A series of horizontal field electromagnets are available for use. Magnet options include one with a low-stray field for polarized beam measurements, one with a magnetic field above 2T, and one with a hollowed out bore for a different magnetic field orientation.
The 9T horizontal-field superconducting magnet has a temperature range from room temperature down to 2.0K, and can operate in transverse and longitudinal orientations.
