Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) – Quantum Design EverCool II
Quantum Design Evercool II Physical Property Measurement System
The Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) is an open architecture, variable temperature-field system that is optimized to perform a variety of automated electrical and magnetic measurements.
The EverCool-II is an exciting cryogen-free enhancement to Quantum Design’s industry-leading Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) product line. It has been optimized to eliminate any need for buying cryogens, ever. The improved efficiency of the integrated cryocooler-based design now enables the initial cool-down procedure with only a standard helium gas cylinder. Fully automated operation is delivered to maintain optimal liquid helium levels.
