The complexity and variety of samples used in soft matter research demand special requirements from the design and operation of sample environment equipment.
ISIS has recently set up a Soft Matter Team in the Sample Environment Group. We are attempting to review the existing equipment and to learn about the science taking place. There is a large diversity of sample environment required: high/low temperature; pressures; shear measurements; sample changers; liquid troughs; solid/ liquid cells etc. This diversity is one of the main challenges faced by the team aiming to provide stability, reliability, accuracy, control and flexibility in soft matter experiments.
