Cryogenic-free VSM and ETO measurement system – Quantum Design, VersaLab (VERSALAB)

Description:

This cryogen-free physical property measurement system (VERSALAB) is suitable for magnetic and electrical characterization. It is a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) with an electrical transport option (ETO), capable to apply a magnetic field up to 3 T within a temperature range from 50 K up to 400 K. In addition, it has an oven option for the VSM to extend the temperature up to 1000 K.
