The design and performance of a hermetic holder for the preservation of air-sensitive differential scanning calorimetry samples during powder x-ray diffraction are described. The holder was developed specifically for the Perkin{endash}Elmer DSC-2C type samples to be analyzed in a Rigaku {ital D}/max-2400V diffractometer. It could, however, easily be modified for use with a variety of diffractometers and larger samples. This holder provides simplicity of operation superior to previous holders at a fraction of the cost of environmental chambers. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
