Questions answered in these manuals
What AFM models is this temperature controller compatible with?
It is compatible with Agilent 5100, 5400, and 5500 AFM systems.
From: Agilent Temperature Control for 5100, 5400 & 5500 AFM Datasheet
Does the controller eliminate condensation?
Yes, it eliminates condensation with environmental control so there is no need to heat the AFM/SPM tip.
From: Agilent Temperature Control for 5100, 5400 & 5500 AFM Datasheet
How long does it take to reduce the oxygen concentration in the chamber from ambient levels to below 0.1%?
It takes less than 5 minutes of continuous nitrogen purge at a pressure of 10 to 20 psi.
From: Agilent 5500 AFM Oxygen-Free High-Resolution Electrochemical SPM Application Note
How long must the nitrogen flow continue after reaching low oxygen levels to keep the chamber stabilized?
An additional 15-minute purge is needed to reach a level where oxygen is not detectable.
