How to Choose a Lab Cryostat and Deal with Helium Supply Issues

About the Webinar

Choosing the right cryostat can be a challenge, particularly when considering your long-term needs and budgetary requirements. This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the key factors to consider when evaluating cryostats for a research lab, including:

•       Temperature stability and range, including the need for high temperature

•       Types of cooling mechanisms, and their advantages and drawbacks

•       Sample considerations, including the environment and vibration sensitivity

•       Application and measurement requirements, such as those needed for photoluminescence or FTIR spectroscopy

We will also discuss initial purchase and operating costs, especially those relating to the availability of liquid helium, and whether a cryogen-free solution would better serve your cooling needs.
