DRY ICE 1.5K 50mm Cryostat
The ICEoxford DRYICE1.5K 50mm cryostat enables users to perform experiments in the temperature range 1.3K to 800K. Additional He3 and Dilution fridge inserts are available to achieve lower temperatures of 280mK and 10mK respectively.
The cryostat is a closed-loop system and offers excellent temperature stability, fast cool downtimes, low vibration at sample space and a choice of magnets to suit the experimenter’s field of research.
The system utilises either a GM or PTR cryo-cooler technology. For reduced vibrations, the cryo-cooler sits supported within a sock that separates the cold-head from the cryostat. ICEoxford has also developed other methods to further reduce vibration levels.
Our patented Dual-Cool technology is included which allows the system to switch between static and dynamic exchange gas mode for sample cooling. This gives the benefit of faster sample cooldown, whilst minimising blockages during long-term operation.
High field superconducting magnets are designed to be an integral part of these systems and we offer a wide range of solenoid, split-pair and vector rotate magnets up 18 Tesla.
