10 K cryocoolers — sample in exchange gas

Lake Shore exchange gas systems offer two main advantages to the experimenter: rapid sample exchange while the refrigerator is operating, and efficient cooling for non-conductive or irregularly shaped samples not easily clamped to a cold finger (e.g., powders, liquid solutions, etc.). These advantages are made possible by using the refrigerator to cool a column of helium exchange gas surrounding the sample. The sample is inserted, via a long rod, into a nearly isothermal region of the gas column for cooling. Sample exchange simply consists of removing the sample rod, switching samples on the rod, and reinserting the rod into the cryostat. The entire sequence takes only a matter of minutes and is performed while the refrigerator is operating. Thus the time to cool successive samples is greatly reduced over cold finger cryostat.

CCS-800

Model CCS-550 optical, cooler mounted below sample chamber, sample in exchange gas 10 K cryocooler with CTI cold head

Lake Shore exchange gas refrigerators are available in two geometries. The CCS-550 offers the cooler mounted below the sample chamber. The CCS-550 is somewhat smaller and more portable and can be easily mounted on optical tables or between the gap of some electromagnets.

Model CCS-950 optical, cooler mounted above sample chamber, sample in exchange gas 10 K cryocooler with CTI cold head

Lake Shore exchange gas refrigerators are available in two geometries. The CCS-950 offers the cooler mounted either above the sample chamber. The CCS-950 permits the sample region to be inserted into the sample chamber of a spectrometer or the room temperature bore of a superconducting magnet. CCS-950 10 K CCR

Model CCS-550T non-optical, cooler mounted below sample chamber, sample in exchange gas 10 K cryocooler with CTI cold head

Lake Shore exchange gas refrigerators are available in two geometries. The CCS-550T offers the cooler mounted below the sample chamber. The CCS-550T is somewhat smaller and more portable and can be easily mounted between the gap of some electromagnets.

Model CCS-950T non-optical, cooler mounted above sample chamber, sample in exchange gas 10 K cryocooler with CTI cold head

Lake Shore exchange gas refrigerators are available in two geometries. The CCS-950T offers the cooler mounted either above the sample chamber. The CCS-950T permits the sample region to be inserted into the sample chamber of a spectrometer or the room temperature bore of a superconducting magnet.
