The IC Plus ionisation chambers are suitable for use in a number of diffraction and crystallography experiments, including protein crystallography. The IC Plus is available in 4 standard electrode lengths to allow optimisation of the detector energy range and fit the physical space constraints of complex end stations. All our IC Plus Ion chambers feature adjustable plate spacings of 10mm, 14mm and 18mm, allowing the user an additional means of tuning the signal strength

General Specifications
| Operating principle | Gated integrator (charge integrating amplifier) | Digitization | 16 bit bipolar |
| Integration capacitor | Dual, software selectable. Default values 100 pF and 3300 pF. | Controls | Two rotary switches for loop address and comms mode/baud rate. |
| Input noise | < 200 fA rms unloaded. (1 second integration, 10 pF capacitor at <= 25 C ambient) | Displays | Status LEDs (power, device status, comms mode, data RX/TX). “HV on” LED. |
| Stability | Output drift < 200 fA / hour at 25 +/- 1 C ambient after stabilization | Case material | Stainless steel sheet |
| External accuracy | Better than 0.5% of full scale in use, integration time 500 µsec to 1 sec, after calibration with built-in current source | Operating environment | 10 to 35C (15 to 25 C recommended to reduce drift and offset) , < 70% humidity, non-condensing, vibration < 0.1g all axes (1 to 1000Hz) Vibration must be as low as possible to measure at the lower limit of the dynamic range. |
