Quantum Design Oxford - Proteox5mK

World's Coldest Commercially Available Continuous Operation Cryofree® Dilution Unit

Proteox5mK

The world's coldest, continuous, dry dilution refrigerator, with base temperature of < 5 mK, temperature control range up to 30 K, and cooling powers of > 25 µW at 20 mK and > 850 µW at 100 mK.

Dry systems do not require the use of cryogenic liquids to provide the 4 K environment. Instead, pulse tube refrigerators are used. These enable push-button operation, can reduce the cost of ownership, and negate the need for a helium liquefier.

Our Cryofree® (cryogen free) range of products provides the user with much more experimental space and a larger sample plate, due to not needing a dewar surrounding the system containing the liquid helium for cooling. Mechanical vibrations from the pulse tube refrigerator are significantly reduced using a comprehensive range of vibration isolation techniques.
