Capillaries
A selection of Kapton, Glass and fused Quartz capillary tubes are available at 11-BM for on-site experiments. Check with staff to confirm, but the materials and dimensions shown in the chart below are typically on hand.
Use quartz for high temperature work ( > 450 C). Glass adds a bit smaller background to the diffraction pattern and is easier to seal, but fused quartz tubes are stronger, more chemical resistant, and survive higher temperatures.

Tools
The following tools might be helpful for preparing samples:
- Small Drill Bits can be useful for loading & packing powder inside Kapton tubes (more details)
- Powder Sieves help remove any large particles and ensure homogeneous powders. 11-BM has a selection of powder sieves available for use by on-site users at the beamline. (more details)
- Mortar & Pestles Small and large agate mortars and pestles are also available for grinding powders. (more details)
