We present a method to perform improved measurements of the effects of chemical variability on physical properties of single-crystal samples in the diamond-anvil cell by employing a multi-sample approach. By customizing the sizes and shapes of the samples using a focused ion beam machine the simultaneous loading of relatively large crystals into a single sample chamber becomes feasible. To illustrate the potential of this approach, elastic properties of four single crystals of ringwoodite with different chemical compositions have been measured at high pressure. Our results suggest that the multi-sample approach allows for the quantification of small effects of chemical variations, such as iron and hydrogen incorporation, on physical properties. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of using the multi-sample approach to load several crystals with different crystallographic orientations of the same material into one sample chamber in order to map out the direction dependence of anisotropic physical properties.
