MANDI Sample Mounting Guidelines (Capillaries):

Mount the sample within the region of the capillary as specified below.
Be sure that the sample is secure in that region.
The mother solution should be in the other side of the capillary that is far away from the mounting end.
Be sure that the wax diameter is smaller than 6mm.
Capillaries should not be longer than 50mm and the outer diameter should not be any larger than 4.0 mm.
DO NOT use borosilicate capillaries. Quartz is preferred.

MANDI Cryogenic Sample Mounting Guidelines (pins):

The standard crystal cap magnetic is from Hampton Research. The height, that is from the bottom of the base to the top of the pin, should be 23-27.5mm.
