The Diacell® SymmDAC 60 BeCu is a compact and symmetrical piston-cylinder diamond anvil cell suitable for optical or X-ray measurements. It is the low temperature and non-magnetic version of the Diacell® SymmDAC 60.

The main difference to the standard version is the material of the DAC body (BeCu) and the seats for the diamond anvils, which are made of tungsten carbide with 6% Ni. The latter have a lower magnetic background than the standard WC support seats.

Diacell® SymmDAC 60 BeCu allows both sides to be used for both excitation (optical or X-ray) and collection of emitted light or diffraction patterns.
The pressure mechanism is screw driven. Pressure is applied by means of 4 screws, two left-handed and two right-handed, working in conjunction with superposed Belleville springs. This combination will help the user to apply the load in a more controlled manner.

The Diacell® SymmDAC 60 is fitted as standard with 2.50 mm Diacell® design diamond anvils that are fitted in anvil rings. But this DAC can also be used with Standard design diamond anvils that can be glued directly on the support plates.

The Diacell® SymmDAC 60 BeCu can also be adapted with lateral slots on the piston and cylinder. These are made so that the user could accommodate wires for electrical wires used to do transport measurements.
