  • Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) Magnetometer

    Quantum Design MPMS®3 - Quantum Design Inc.

    Quantum Design's MPMS 3 represents the culmination of 40 years of development and design in the world of SQUID Magnetometry. Providing users with the sensitivity of a SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) magnetometer and the choice of multiple measurement modes, the MPMS 3 offers new levels of performance in magnetic research while including those aspects of past Quantum Design SQUID magnetometers that customers have grown to appreciate and depend on.

  • Physical Property Measurement System

    PPMS® DynaCool™ - Quantum Design Inc.

    The popular Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) from Quantum Design is now available in a truly cryogen-free package. The PPMS DynaCool uses a single two-stage Pulse Tube cooler to cool both the superconducting magnet and the temperature control system, providing a low vibration environment for sample measurements. It offers continuous low temperature control and precise field and temperature sweep modes.

  • 1 kW and 2 kW Laser-Based Floating Zone Furnace

    Laser Furnace - Quantum Design Inc.

    The 1 kW and 2 kW laser furnace for single crystal fabrication is based on a design and developed in close cooperation with the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science under the leadership of Yoshio Kaneko. Both melting zones have 5 lasers each, which guarantees a high uniformity of power density in the melting zone range. The laser profile has been optimized to reduce thermal stress during the crystal growth process. In addition, the system includes an integrated temperature sensor for real-time temperature monitoring. Temperatures up to 3000 °C can be reached and therefore materials with a very high vapor pressure, a narrow temperature range of the melt, a high thermal conductivity coefficient and incongruent melts can be melted.

  • Physical Property Measurement System

    PPMS - Quantum Design Inc.

    The Quantum Design PPMS represents a unique concept in laboratory equipment: an open architecture, variable temperature-field system, designed to perform a variety of automated measurements. Available measurement options include all required hardware and electronics to immediately begin collecting publication-quality data, while the system is also easily adapted to custom user experiments. Sample environment controls include fields up to ±16 T and a temperature range of 1.9 - 400 K. The expandable design enables combining many features in one instrument to make the PPMS the most versatile system of its kind.

  • Atomic Force Microscope for SEM/FIB

    AFSEM® AFM Insert - Quantum Design Inc.

    AFSEM is an atomic force microscope (AFM), designed for integration in a SEM or Dualbeam (SEM/FIB) microscope. Its open access design allows you to simultaneously operate SEM and AFM inside the SEM vacuum chamber. The correlated image data of AFM and SEM enable unique characterization of your sample, and the combination of complementary techniques is a key success factor for gaining new insights into the micro and nano worlds. AFSEM enables you to easily combine two of the most powerful analysis techniques to greatly extend your correlative microscopy and analysis possibilities.

  • Helium Liquefiers, Purifiers and Recovery Systems

    NexGen & ATL Liquefiers and Purifiers - Quantum Design Inc.

    Quantum Design's full line of liquefiers and innovative helium recovery, storage and purification systems allow you to recover and liquefy the helium gas currently being lost from the normal boil off and helium transfers of your cryogenic instruments. A perfect helium recycling solution for research and medical cryostats, Quantum Design’s helium liquefiers and recovery systems allow you to break your dependence on cryogen suppliers and no longer be subject to higher costs and undependable supply. You will also be doing your part to conserve a precious natural resource which is vital to scientific research and medical treatment.

  • 2- and 4-Mirror Floating Zone Crystal Furnaces

    IR Image Furnace - Quantum Design Inc.

    The high-performance, compact IR Image Furnace from Quantum Design offers unsurpassed performance in a convenient, stand-alone design. Rivaling much larger and more costly IR furnaces, it uses the Floating Zone (FZ) method to promote single crystal growth from a polycrystalline rod. This method has been shown to be extremely effective for a wide class of materials. Now, more easily than ever before, you have the ability to synthesize superior quality single crystal specimens in your own laboratory. This furnace is available in both 2- and 4-mirror versions.

  • DC SQUID System

    Quantum Design Inc.

    Quantum Design's patented high-symmetry SQUID design and electronics provide the most rugged and sensitive all-thin-film sensors commercially available, and give you everything you need to configure flexible, powerful detection systems for your research. These sensors can easily withstand the rigors of a laboratory environment such as repeated temperature cycling. Their robust performance offers a level of reliability and adaptability that has earned QD a worldwide reputation as the SQUID of choice. OEM services are also available for special commercial applications.

  • 7 Tesla Optical Cryostat

    OptiCool® - Quantum Design Inc.

    The OptiCool by Quantum Design is a new optical cryostat using an innovative design that puts the sample volume in the heart of your optical environment. A custom 3.8 inch bore, split-coil, conical magnet offers fields perpendicular to the optical table up to ±7 tesla. The highly integrated design means, even with a magnet, your sample isn’t buried inside a large cryostat, far away from the optics. Seven side optical ports and one top optical port allow for optical access to your sample from a wide array of directions.

  • Portable Cryogen-Free Cryocooler-Based Material Characterization Platform

    PPMS® VersaLab™ - Quantum Design Inc.
