Diacell® OmniDAC
Optical and X-ray Spectroscopy, Pmax = 100 GPa, Tmax = 800 K, WD = 12 mm, A = 50°
- Maximum pressures of up to above 100 GPa may be obtained with the Diacell® OmniDAC
- Fitted with type IIas ultra low fluorescence anvils, Diacell® OmniDAC is suitable for Raman spectroscopy
- The Diacell® OmniDAC has a numerical aperture of 0.42
- X-ray experiments are also possible, the cell has extended lateral sight holes allowing the observation of scatter at directions normal to the cell axis as well (16°of 2θ is accessible)
- An optional heater is available, enabling high pressure research up to above 800 K
- Gas membrane driven, the pressure can be changed whilst the DAC is mounted on the spectrometer or X-ray stage
Description
The Diacell® OmniDAC was designed for both X-ray diffraction and optical studies taking advantage of the gas membrane drive mechanism. Extended lateral sight holes allow the observation of scatter at directions normal to the cell axis. The Diacell® OmniDAC can be equipped (as an option) with an internal ring heater enabling the heating of the sample to about 800 K.
The gas membrane drive requires, additionally, the Diacell® GM Controller unit containing valves, couplings, pressure measurement and digital display modules.
Applications
The Diacell® OmniDAC was designed for both X-ray diffraction and optical studies at room and high-temperatures.

FAQs
What is the maximum pressure I can achieve with the OmniDAC and a given culet size?
| Culet size (µm) | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 800 | 1000 |
| Pmax (GPa) (*) | 114 | 98 | 63 | 41 | 28 | 16 | 10 |
(*) The Pmax values are only indicative. The maximum pressure achievable with a DAC is influenced by many others experimental parameters, like the gasket characteristics (material, thickness and hole size) or the pressure transmitting medium.
Can one use the Diacell OmniDAC for high pressure gas loading?
Yes. This diamond anvil cell is designed to accommodate some clamping screws (supplied as standard with the cell) running through the cylinder and enabling the piston to be fixed mechanically after a high pressure gas loading. The exact details of the gas loading and loading mechanism need to be engineered and Almax easylab offers a loading mechanism kit for such application. Consult us.
