Nanostructures measurement facilities
We have a wide range of low-temperature systems for electrical, magnetic and optical measurements of nanostructures. These systems are supplied with liquid helium by Low Temperature Services.
Facilities
Low Temperature Services
Consisting of a network of recovery pipes, collection bag, compressors, high pressure storage cylinders and a helium purifier liquefier to re-liquefy the boil off helium. For more information, contact Adam Woodgate (Special Services Technician).
Liquid gas storage
On site bulk storage for 3000L liquid nitrogen and 2000L liquid helium in liquid form.
Linde TCF20 Helium Purifier Liquefier
Capable of producing up to 50,000 litres of liquid helium per year.
