From QDUKI – leaders in Cryogenics
QDUKI has been involved with Cryogenics now for over a decade, both as a manufacturer and a distributor of low temperature instrumentation such as the PPMS and MPM3 and we have continually added to supplying materials characterisation products from other leading vendors.
We firmly believe we have the best combination of instrumentation in cryogenics for investigation of new materials and for the optical Quantum computing QUBIT Technology revolution which hopes to replace the current mature but slow electronics era.
We always welcome the opportunity to promote your research work and events and many of our users love us to host our workshops at their sites. In fact, this year we are launching the 2023 Quantum Design workshops at Cambridge. Don’t miss the chance to register for this workshop.
The partnerships between QD, Lake Shore Cryotronics/Janis, Montana Instruments and NanOsc, combines the knowledge and application expertise of industry leaders in cryogenics. We can span the entire cryogenic ecosystem.
Here you can read the latest product news, events, launches, case studies and steps forward in the cryogenic arena from the last year.

The Beginner’s Guide to Cryostats and Cryocoolers
Guide explains everything you need to know
This is the ultimate guide for scientists, students, and lab technicians who are new to cryogenic systems operating between 1.5 and 300 K. This 28-page guide includes 18 diagrams, 11 equations, and 9 tables and charts. There is no more comprehensive resource on laboratory cryostats for researchers.
You will learn about:
- Variable temperature cryostats, including thermal impedance and exchange gas types
- Experimental techniques, thermometry, and temperature control
- Estimating heat loads on the cold stage and attached sample
- Using superconducting magnets with cryostats
- Closed-cycle refrigerator cryostats that require no cryogens
NEW PRODUCT: Montana Instrument’s The Rook™
The First Fully Integrated 3-Axis Cryogenic Nanopositioner, The Rook stands out as the only nanopositioning system available with multi-axis runout and bidirectional repeatability specified at the sample location across the full travel range, delivering performance achievable from anywhere within the motion envelope.
WATCH: New AFM Built Inside Quantum Design OptiCool
This AFM image was taken inside an OptiCool at 200 K and 6.6 T. The AFM is part of the s-SNOM built by Mengkun Liu and his research group at Stony Brook University, New York. This image demonstrates the low noise and low acceleration environment inside the OptiCool.
Test and Measurement Options
At Quantum Design UK and Ireland we offer a number of test and measurement options that we are sure will cover all your application requirements. If you don’t see the solution here, do get in touch with us as there are so many customised options available, and we relish a good problem solving challenge.
Case Study: Using rare-Earth doped materials to characterise closed-cycle cryostats for QIS applications
Montana Instruments is participating in the Quantum Information Science and Engineering Network (QISE-NET). The program pairs graduate students pursuing careers in quantum science and engineering with partners in industrial and national labs. The goal of the program is to train and develop tomorrow’s workforce of quantum scientists and engineers critical for the US to lead in quantum science and technology.
How To: Select the Right Temperature Sensor
Selecting the appropriate sensor requires an understanding of different sensor technologies. This Temperature Selection Guide lets you quickly identify the right sensor for your research application.
Jump-start Your Quantum Materials Research
Calling all early career researchers or those setting up a cryogenics lab!
The CryoCore closed-cycle optical cryostat from Montana Instruments, is ideal for breaking into quantum research. This new system provides a low cost and easy to use route into quantum research, allowing you to get on with your research and get results.
Calibrations for Lake Shore Cryotronics
Quantum Design UK and Ireland can arrange for calibrations of Lake Shore Cryotronics sensors, monitors and controllers. The service includes processing of all import and export. All calibrations of Lake Shore products are performed to internally developed and validated methods.
Spotlight on Cryostats
Environment by Janis (only available from Lake Shore Cryotronics through QDUKI in the UK and Ireland) offers cryogen-free cryostats use both 10 K and 4 K cryocoolers, covering a temperature range of 1.5 K to 800 K. Choose from top- or bottom-loading designs suited for an extensive range of applications.
Focus On: Lake Shore Cryogenic Probe Stations
Lake Shore’s micro-manipulated probe stations enable reliable measurements of electrical, electro-optical, DC, RF, and microwave properties of materials and devices at cryogenic temperatures and under the application of high magnetic field – capabilities often vital to nanoscale, semiconductor, and spintronic device R&D.
