Model CRX-4K Cryogenic Probe Station

Model CRX-4K features

• Cryogen-free operation
• Allows unsupervised cooldown
• Low-temperature operation
• Minimize sample condensation during cooldown
• Customizable to accommodate a 102 mm (4 in) wafer
• Includes PC with MeasureLINK™ software

Designed for versatility and high performance, the CRX-4K is our premium cryogen-free closed cycle refrigerant probe station. This system is the solution for those looking for the convenience of cryogen-free operation and the exceptional measurement performance of a Lake Shore product.

Using a self-contained closed cycle refrigerator (CCR), the station cools down to cryogenic temperatures unassisted, eliminating the need for monitoring by the researcher. Various options and configurations on the CRX-4K enable the researcher to conduct exacting, challenging test measurements. The CRX-4K provides Lake Shore’s best low-temperature cryogen-free performance, with configurations enabling sample temperatures as low as 4.5 K. Multiple temperature sensors throughout the station ensure accurate, repeated measurements. The 2-stage CCR allows the sample to be maintained at elevated temperature during cooldown, reducing the potential for condensation, a critical requirement for measuring organic materials. The CRX-4K is designed to accommodate wafers as large as 102 mm (4 in) in diameter, with 51 mm (2 in) diameter probable regions.

The station also ships with a PC workstation with our versatile MeasureLINK software included. This software provides complete coordination over the experiment with no programming required. Using drag-and-drop control, you can easily control temperature for on-wafer probing measurements performed in a station. Set up either discrete or continuously varying temperature measurements when using our CVT probes in your station and watch how temperature stabilizes while reaching a set control temperature. MeasureLINK also enables data collection visualization in real-time and allows you to create a specific multi-variable chart for any data-collection sequence.
