Oxford Instruments has launched the OptistatDry optical cryostat – designed for low temperature spectroscopy applications.
The OptistatDry is designed to enable optical spectroscopists to cool their samples to less than 3 Kelvin without the need for liquid cryogens.
Low temperature spectroscopy experiments can be time consuming and difficult to set up, so the cryostat has been designed to make integration quick and easy.
The stand has fixing points to mount directly onto both metric and imperial optical benches.
Puck-style sample holders make electrical connections to the sample straightforward. Sample change is done with the cryostat in-situ, through the load port, eliminating the need to remove it from the optical bench and then re-align optics when setting up again.
OptistatDry is suitable for a wide range of spectroscopy applications including Raman, FTIR, fluorescence, photoluminescence and UV/Visible.
Its modular design means that the cryostat can be upgraded at a later date as experimental needs evolve. Users can add from a wide range of wiring options and sample holders, and even upgrade to future models without having to buy a completely new cryostat.
David Clapton, product manager at Oxford Instruments, said: “We have worked closely with our customers to make sure this product makes low temperature experiments as straightforward as possible for optical spectroscopists. This makes OptistatDry truly distinctive compared to competing products.”
