Research Hub
ANSTO's research capabilities, led by the OPAL nuclear research reactor and associated instruments provide access to users investigating areas as diverse as materials, life sciences, climate change and mining/engineering.
Equipment
Gas-dosing rig
- Specialist rig designed for loading gas into samples has been developed. The rig is designed to load known quantities of gas or gas mixtures at pressures up to 124 bar into samples.
- Three sample containers (rated to 15, 30, and 45 bar) are available for use with the rig.
- Three sample environments have been modified to be used with the rig, including a bottom-loading cryofurnace (4 - 800 K), a Euler cradle with cryofurnace (10 - 800 K), and a top-loading cryostat (1.8 - 300 K).
