We’re excited to unveil the RapidCycle cryostat from Montana Instruments, engineered for sub‑1‑hour cooldowns and optimised for fast, efficient 4K electrical device testing. This is a major step forward for customers who need to increase their throughput in device testing.
Purpose‑built for high‑volume cryogenic testing, the RapidCycle Cryostat streamlines evaluation of electrical components. Its closed‑cycle system eliminates liquid‑helium logistics and offers intuitive push‑button control for every thermal cycle. Achieving cooldown, warmup, and sample exchange in under 2.5 hours, it maximises productivity and minimises downtime. Designed for flexibility, the RapidCycle can be easily customised to meet the most demanding test applications.
Decrease Your Cryogenic Testing Time


Cryogenic Component Testing
Intuitive 4 Kelvin Electrical Test Environment
- Cooldown to 4.2 Kelvin in less than 1 Hour
- Increase the number of cryogenic devices tested per day.
- >300mW Cooling at 4.2 Kelvin
- Cooling capacity to ensure the device will achieve the target low temperatures during the automated test.
- Multiple Vacuum Feedthroughs
- RF and DC electrical feedthroughs can be added by the user to ensure the system will support long term testing requirements.
- Flexible 100mm Breadboard Sample Platform
- Adaptable sample space allows for reconfiguration as testing criteria changes.
- Cryogen-free/closed-cycle cryostat
- Avoid expensive, hassle, and supply challenges with liquid helium systems.
- Turn-key equipment solution
- Intuitive system operation allows for easy push button cooldown or warmup either via the user interface or remote scripting.
FEATURES
- Cooldown, Warmup, sample exchange – For engineers tasked with increasing the throughput of their cryogenic testing a full cooldown and warmup cycle with sample exchange can be completed in <2.5 Hours.
- RF & DC feedthroughs – multiple vacuum to cryogenic feedthroughs allow for additional DC and RF connections to your device under test.
- 100mm Sample Space – The large 100mm 4 Kelvin platform supports a range of cryogenic test components.
- Touchscreen user interface – displays real-time temperature status, temperature stability and vacuum pressure readouts.
