About
University of Southampton awarded a contract to Oxford Cryosystems Ltd for the supply of a liquid nitrogen cryostat to support the UK National Crystallography Service (NCS) facility.
The NCS focuses on single crystal diffraction for structural characterisation at atomic resolution, handling challenging samples from UK chemistry and related disciplines.
The cryostat is intended for use in the Southampton laboratory, which serves as a filter for more demanding samples that may require central facilities such as the I19 beamline at Diamond Light Source or the ISIS neutron facility.
The contract value was £31,832.
