intro-to-lab-cryo-lp-cover-1

 

Guide explains everything you need to know

This is the ultimate guide for scientists, students, and lab technicians who are new to cryogenic systems operating between 1.5 and 300 K.  

 

You will learn about: 

  • Variable temperature cryostats, including thermal impedance and exchange gas types
  • Experimental techniques, thermometry, and temperature control
  • Estimating heat loads on the cold stage and attached sample
  • Using superconducting magnets with cryostats
  • Closed-cycle refrigerator cryostats that require no cryogens

 

This 28-page guide includes 18 diagrams, 11 equations, and 9 tables and charts. There is no more comprehensive resource on laboratory cryostats for researchers.
