Benchtop Heating Stages:
BTS 150 | BTS 500
- Compact, patented design optimized for benchtop XRD applications
- Temperature control range: -10 °C to +150 °C (BTS 150) and up to 500 °C (BTS 500)
- Fast, accurate temperature control with sensor near the sample
- Straightforward sample handling, alignment, and remote control via USB
The BTS 150 and BTS 500 Benchtop Heating Stages are the first commercial non-ambient stages for XRD studies on benchtop diffractometers. Their unique design is patented and offers all the features a benchtop diffraction application requires - compactness, reliability and ease of use!
Measurements can be performed between –10 °C and 150 °C with the BTS 150 and from ambient to 500 °C with the BTS 500. Both instruments are extremely compact in design to fit into the restricted space of typical benchtop diffractometers.
Key features
Fast and accurate temperature control
- Temperature range from –10 °C to 150 °C (BTS 150)
or from ambient to 500 °C (BTS 500) - Accurate temperature measurement by a thermo sensor close to the sample
- Fast heating and cooling
Optimized for ease of operation
- Easy handling and exchange of samples
- Easy alignment possibilities
- High position stability and minimum thermal expansion of sample holder
- Adjustable beam knife to minimize background at low 2θ
- Remote control via USB connection possible
Optimized design for benchtop instruments
- Compact and lightweighted design with integrated temperature controller
- No external cooling required (only air cooling) for BTS 500 or optional water cooling for BTS 150 at lowest temperatures
