The work behind the sample

Behind every sample,
there is work worth preserving.

Preparation. Instrument time. A question that still needs an answer. The way a sample is handled between steps matters to what comes next.

Preserve the environment.

Connect introduction, handling and storage around the vacuum conditions your sample requires.

Define the movement.

Match transfer paths, holder interfaces and positioning to the way your instruments work.

Keep control in view.

Follow supported equipment states and sequences through a shared control and monitoring interface.
