UHV SUITCASE
The UHV Sample Suitcase is a small and light battery-powered UHV chamber that allows transporting in UHV conditions up to 8 samples mounted on "standard" omicron type sample plates 18mm wide or 4 double decker ones. It has been developed by ALBA and FERROVAC in order to allow users move samples in UHV conditions between their system and ALBA beamlines and vice versa.
It can be docked via a CF-40 flange to an UHV chamber via a buffer connection that will be baked out. A magnetic transfer arm carrying an omicron/specs type STM sample parking can be inserted in the vacuum chamber. Currently it has been designed specifically to be docked to BOREAS UHV-SPTR, CIRCE beamline PEEM endstation inside ALBA synchrotron and to other facilities or the nearby research institutes. Users willing to use it may contact the beamline staff.
Users willing more information on the UHV sample suitcase available at ALBA/BOREAS may contact P. Gargiani or E. Pellegrin.
