Lake Shore’s 8600 VSM updated… Noise floor reduced to 15 nemu

Lake Shore Cryotronics continues to up the performance of their 8600 Series VSM, with the release of a new brochure covering the improved noise floor specifications.

The 8600 Series offers a clean, ergonomic design to simplify the researcher’s interaction with the system. For example, a motorised head brings the sample to a comfortable height for easy, one-handed exchange of the sample rods. And combining high sensitivity, rapid measurement speeds, and ease of operation for faster and more accurate measurements further adds to the convenience these systems offer.

Temperature options include a cryostat, high-temperature oven, and single stage variable temperature insert. The combined temperature range of the options is 4.2 to 1273 K, and all three options quickly slide into place and are auto-detected by the system’s software – video demonstration.

8600 Series Features

• Noise floor now 15 nemu
• 10 ms/pt data acquisition rate
• 5000 Oe/s field ramp rate
• Rapid, repeatable temperature option exchange
• High stability: ±0.05% per day
• Fields to 3.26 T
• Widest available temperature range: 4.2 K to 1273 K

The magnet poles are also easily adjusted with a specially designed indexed positioning system that allows the pole gap to be set at one of six repeatable positions, eliminating the need to recalibrate after each change.
