Introduction

This catalogue demonstrates some examples of the products designed and manufactured by ICEoxford®. Although it lists many of our standard products we have previously manufactured we are prepared to design and manufacture a wide range of cryogenic instruments to your requirements.

We regularly take on custom work and are able to offer this at a competitive price.

Very often base temperature is the primary factor in chosing a system. The following table demonstrates some of the available ICEoxford systems. Where multiple systems are available, only one example is given.

All systems prefixed with DRY are cryogen free, thus requiring no liquid cryogens for the use.

If you want to upgrade an existing system then your primary factor in the decision could well be dominated by the space available for the instrument. The following table serves to give examples of possible solutions based on insert diameter.

It is very important to stress that this list does not list every possibility so please do contact us with your exact requirements and we’ll see what we can do.

Traditional Spectroscopy

Liquid Helium Continuous Flow Cryostat
Product Code: ^CFICE

An adaptable modular range of static and dynamic continuous flow cryostats.

Sample holders, temperature range, tails dimensions length & diameter can all be modified to suit the customers needs.

Specification of Cryostat shown:

• OVC outer diameter 70 mm
• Sample space diameter 49 mm
• Single shot base temp 1.3K
• Helium consumption < 1.5 l/h
• Continuous Flow Temp 2.2 K (with > 20 cubic meter/hour pump)

Special Liquid Helium Continuous Flow Cryostat (sample in vacuum)
Product Code: ^CFICE^1K100

Designed initially for neutron facilities, this continuous flow insert has a very low stable base temperature in both single shot and continuous flow modes, the insert operates in a vacuum and can be supplied with its own vapour cooled shields and cryostat or it can parasitize within a cold bore environment. The insert also benefits from a fast sample turn around time and large sample space in vacuum.

Specification of Cryostat shown:

• Sample space up to 100mm
• Single shot base temperature <1.2K
• Continuous flow base temperature <1.4K
• Temperature range 1.2K to 300K
• Stability below 10K ±0.1K
• Stability Above 10K ±0.5K

ALSO AVAILABLE: A ^CFICE^1K50 50mm diameter version is also available.

Liquid Helium Continuous Flow Optical Cryostat
Product Code: ^OPTIICE^CF

Continuous flow CF of either LN2 or LHe is directed through a heat exchanger which in turn cools the sample either by direct contact with the flow (Dynamic) or via exchange gas (Static).

Range of windows

Suitable for the following range of spectroscopy techniques:

• Raman
• Infared
• Visible and ultra-violet spectroscopy
• Photoluminescence
• Photo-conductivity and Electro-optical Studies

Specification:

• Temperature Range 2.2 - 300 K
• Stability ±0.1 K
• Base Temperature 1.6 K (single shot)
• Sample Turnaround 5 mins
• Continuous Flow Temp 2.2 K (with > 20 cubic meter/hour pump)

Liquid Nitrogen Continuous Flow Cryostat
Product Code: ^CFICE^N

An adaptable modular range of static and dynamic continuous flow cryostats.

Specification:

Sample holders, temperature range, tails dimensions length & diameter can all be modified to suit the customers needs.

• OVC outer diameter 95 mm
• Sample space diameter 35 mm
• Base temp 77 K
• Temperature control from 77K to Room T

Liquid Nitrogen Continuous Flow Optical Cryostat
Product Code: ^MICROICE^N
