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.
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.

Lake Shore’s 7400 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer is the most sensitive available today
Lake Shore’s Vibrating Sample Magnetometer systems (VSM) can measure all types of magnetic materials in bulk, powder, thin film, single crystal, and liquid form, and the latest 7400 series Vibrating Sample Magnetometer is the most sensitive VSM available today.
This VSM features a noise floor of 1 x 10-7 emu at 10 seconds/point sampling, 4 x 10-7 emu at 1 second per point and 7.5 x 10-7 emu at 0.1 seconds per point. In addition to providing the lowest noise floor, the 7400’s patented technology leads to a stability of 0.05% per day which surpasses the stability of any other commercial VSM.
Under full software automation it can measure and record hysteresis M(H) loops, torque curves, isothermal and DC demagnetisation remanence curves, and temperature dependent magnetic properties.
Models based on variable gap 4″, 7″ and 10″ electromagnets are available, providing field strengths to above 3 T. While variable gap magnets allow for easy reconfiguration of the magnet gap to accommodate large samples of up to 1″.
