Cryostats

Supracon AG fabricates liquid helium and nitrogen cryostats tailored to customer-specific requirements, as well as suitable for magnetic field measurements at the quantum limit.

Cryostats

The product range of Supracon AG includes versatile bath cryostats made of non-magnetic GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic), suitable for both liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) and liquid helium (-269 °C).

The cryostats serve as the foundation for highly sensitive magnetic field measurements, for example in geophysical exploration or in the field of biomagnetism.
