Bid Participation Qualification Requirements, etc. Specifications for Sample Cell Holder for Neutron Irradiation 1. Subject: Purchase of Sample Cell Holder for Neutron Irradiation 2. Purpose: This is to purchase a sample cell holder for use with the Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) instrument. In SANS measurements, the sample cell needs to be held stably in a predetermined position relative to the neutron beam for reproducible irradiation. This item is used to fix the sample cell in the neutron beam irradiation position, aiming to ensure the reproducibility of the sample position in SANS measurements. 3.
