Quick Sample Changes for The University of Stirling - Jan 2020

DRY ICE 4K TL Cryostat with ICE AV Anti-Vibration Frame

The DRY ICE 4K TL Cryostat is ideal for applications where quick sample changes are vital. The system is loaded with a top loading probe which cools the sample through exchange and the sample probe is suspended from an anti-vibration frame, reducing vibration at the sample to ±20nm. Changing the sample simply requires removing the probe, changing the sample and then re-inserting the probe. This changover can be completed in as little as 2 hours (going from 4K to 300K and back to 4K). 

This system is now in use at The University of Stirling. Dr. Christian Schroder from the University's Mossbauer Spectroscopy Laboratory for Earth and Environment (MoSEE) comments:

"Overall, I am extremely happy with the value for money this cryostat affords our lab. ICE were very receptive to my comments during the design of the instrument and incorporated all of my suggestions, and they have always been responsive to my queries since."

"We have used the cryostat successfully in a commercial study with a pharmaceutical company. The first scientific paper with results produced using the cryostat is currently in review."
