WET ICE 1.5K Beamline Cryostat
The WET ICE 1.5K beamline cryostat is a liquid Helium based VTI designed with a thinned Aluminium, Vanadium or Mylar tail-set to give the ultimate beamline access combined with a wide range of sample manipulation and fast sample change times.
This is an excellent general research tool for beam-line spectroscopy applications at <1.5K. It can easily be upgraded with He3 or dilution inserts to lower base temperature further.
ICE offer to tailor this cryostat to suit your exact requirements.

The ISIS facility operates a VTI with a 70mm dilution refrigerator insert. This customised system was designed to be easily transported around the ISIS facility and allow fast turnaround mK experiments.
It also allowed experiments from the mK range to 300K within the same cryostat. It also had complex experimental wiring added and achieved the best base temperature and cooling power within such a compact design.
