VNF Series cryostats—sample in flowing vapor

VNF-100

VNF Series features

  • 65 K to 325 K
  • Uses LN2
  • Sample-in-flowing-vapor
Lake Shore — environment by JANIS

The Lake Shore VNF cryostat is an inexpensive liquid nitrogen cryostat offering operating temperatures from 65 K to 325 K. Simple to use and refill, the VPF system uses a refill style displacer assembly and built-in heater to provide variable temperature capability. Temperatures below 77 K are achieved using an optional pumping manifold. High-temperature capability is provided using special sensors and heaters.

Optional window materials can be installed to span the far/mid- IR, VUV, and x-ray regions for a variety of spectroscopic measurements. The refill assembly permits the refilling of the LN2 reservoir without affecting the controlled temperature.
