I had another question - what kind of plastic bags and heat
sealers do you use for sealing up your air-sensitive XAFS samples?
And where could I buy them?
Thanks,

Hi Todd,
Kapton is resistant to most solvents, but that's not necessarily true
for the adhesive on it! I've had the adhesive completely washed away
by samples with a little solvent on them before. So you should test
that before preparing your samples.

Dear Todd,
The use of Kapton sticky tape for ambient-sensitive samples works quite
well. We usually transport samples from our lab in Ar-filled schlenk
flasks, and press the pellets in the glove box at Hasylab (see also
Darek's reply).
In my experience, Kapton tape sufficiently protects the
Dear Todd, Dears Alls,
in my lab (Hasylab) many EXAFS users use the glovebox to prepare "air
sensitive" samples. We do not know a lot about your samples, but I can
say from practical aspect, that in the most cases the sample preperation
in the glove box and then closing it in the Kapton tape is suf
