With cutting edge high-temperature and low-temperature chambers for powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and domed stages for four-circle goniometers, materials can be investigated under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. Sophisticated technologies allow analysis in various atmospheres at temperatures from -193 °C to 2300 °C and pressures from 10-4 mbar to 100 bar. The XRD high-temperature and low-temperature sample stages enable experiments on the influence of multiple environmental conditions on the crystal structure and chemical composition of materials. They are important tools in developing new materials, improving production processes and increasing the lifespan of materials.
Due to the extraordinary diversity of the non-ambient XRD sample stages they can be used in the widest range of research fields.
The XRD sample stages from Anton Paar excel due to:
- The highest quality and reliability
- Excellent temperature homogeneity in the sample
- Simple operation and quick change of samples
- Wide range of models

Non-ambient XRD sample stages from Anton Paar – compact and reliable.
The company Anton Paar was founded in 1922 by the locksmith Anton Paar. From the early days on, Anton Paar specialized in manufacturing precision parts and spare parts for machinery and gages. In 1957, the close relationship between Anton Paar and Prof Otto Kratky, the pioneering scientist in the field of small-angle X-ray scattering at the University of Graz, lead to the production and marketing of Anton Paar’s first scientific instrument, the Kratky camera.
In 1964 Anton Paar presented the first sample heating chamber for X-ray diffraction: HTK 10. This was a strip heater chamber for temperatures up to 1600 °C. Gradually the company built up know-how about sample temperature control and X-ray diffraction, and new non-ambient sample stages were added to the product portfolio, often in close cooperation with distinguished scientists.
In 1992 a joint development project with German specialists for catalysis lead to the introduction of the XRK 600 reaction chamber, the first heating stage for reactive gases and increased pressure. The next pioneering step was the introduction of the DHS 900 domed hot stage in 2001. DHS 900 was the first heating stage with a dome-shaped X-ray window for 2D-diffraction and use on 4-circle goniometers.
In 2009 the range of controllable sample conditions was extended to mechanical load with the TS 600 tensile stage for controlled straining of the sample for in-situ diffraction in transmission and reflection. The latest masterpiece in sample stage development was presented in 2010: HPC 900 high-pressure chamber is a novel heating stage for hydrogen research with up to 100 bar gas pressure.
In addition to all these ground-breaking new developments, Anton Paar continually improves its existing instruments to provide the full range of sample conditioning for X-ray diffraction which can be realized with the materials and technologies available to date.
