From its highly stable, precise temperature control to its fast cooldown time and integrated autofill, every iteration of the Cryostream has expanded the list of available features. Now, forty years since its invention, our engineers have created the new Cryostream 1000, incorporating elegant design with a focus on reliability, simplicity and ease of use.
The latest version of the world-leading open-flow cryogenic gas cooler unifies the controller, pump and dry-air unit into a single gas supply module (GSM). This minimises the system’s overall footprint while simplifying cabling and installation and improves the user experience.
All new electronics and firmware provide combined status reports and intelligent diagnostic information, enabling the system to issue service notifications, automatically regulate the shield flow and run with greater energy efficiency. The control software now supports new functionality for remote annealing, offering precise, low latency control of the gas flow over the sample.
Redesigned Coldhead
The newly designed coldhead now includes an LED status indicator, providing the user with immediate visual feedback when needed most. The pump-out port has been relocated to the rigid leg, eliminating the need to remove the coldhead from the cabinet while performing vacuum regeneration. A new X-ray transparent nozzle attachment is now available as an option to minimise shadowing of the diffraction signal, enabling more data to be collected which can reduce the duration of experiments or improve the signal-to-noise ratio and overall data quality.
