ST-400 ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cryostat
The simplest method of providing cooling in an ultra-high vacuum environment, the ST-400 has all the features of the standard SuperTran cryostats combined with several features that are specific for UHV requirements. Each cryostat is built to order so that the cold finger length and ConFlat-style vacuum flange may be sized to fit the user's chamber.

- 2.75 in rotatable CF-style vacuum mounting flange (other sizes available)
- Gold-plated copper radiation shield and sample mount (NOTE: Standard systems have a nickel undercoat)
- Temperature sensor
- 6 ft superinsulated cryogen transfer line
- Control heater
- System test
