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.
Measuring Earth’s magnetic field strength and orientation
The new F71 Multi-axis teslameter from Lake Shore Cryotronics features in an excellent video on the YouTube channel of Brainiac75.
In the short film he demonstrates how to measure Earth’s magnetic field strength and orientation with the instrument’s sensitive 3-axis probe, proving how much easier it is to do so without using a compass, magnets or a protractor – you need to watch from the beginning to see this bit.
Brainiac75 features a lot of magnet/magnetism related material on his channel, so it’s well worth a look. It may get stuck on you, as we were quite drawn to it!
R&D Magazine declares the 8600 VSM from Lake Shore Cryotronics a winner
The 8600 Series VSMs from Lake Shore Cryotronics [ @LakeShoreCryo ] has been recognised as one of “100 most technologically significant new products in 2017” at an awards ceremony organised by R&D Magazine.
The VSM was re-imagined, focusing on a clean ergonomic design that would simplify a 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.
This superior magnetometer, through both performance and convenience, offers very high sensitivity and a super-fast magnetic field ramp rate. 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
- 0.25 × 10-7 emu noise floor at 10 s/pt
- 10 ms/pt data acquisition rate
- 10,000 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.

8600 VSM from Lake Shore Cryotronics is their best ever
The new production 8600 Series VSMs from Lake Shore Cryotronics [ @LakeShoreCryo ] further raise the bar for magnetometer performance and convenience by combining even higher sensitivity, and a doubled magnetic field ramp rate.
The entire 8600 Series system was re-imagined, focusing on a clean ergonomic design that would simplify a 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.
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.

This week, we’re in Dublin for INTERMAG
INTERMAG is the IEEE’s premier conference on applied magnetics and information storage technologies, covering diverse topics such as magnets and magnetic materials, microscopy and the life sciences, motors, transformers and more.
An exhibition runs alongside, and representatives from Elliot Scientific will be assisting our friends from Lake Shore Cryotronics on their stand from Tuesday the 25th to Thursday the 27th. We look forward to seeing you there.

New hybrid low temperature system from Janis Research
Janis Research Company has developed a new hybrid low temperature system. The versatile model 2K-VTI variable temperature cryogen-free (dry) system has been combined with a wet (LHe cooled) 9T/4T vector magnet to provide a system that offers low temperature and high magnetic field measurements.
The 2K-VTI can be integrated with either wet or dry magnets, and can be configured for sample in vacuum, sample in ultra high vacuum (UHV), sample in exchange gas or even sample in liquid.
The 2K-VTI cryostat can be operated in several different modes, allowing the user to optimise the cooling method for the particular sample and experimental requirement.
