ST-400 Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) Cryostat
Overview
The simplest method of providing cooling in an ultra-high vacuum environment, the ST-400 has all the features of the standard SuperTran cryostats combined with several features that are specific for UHV requirements. Each cryostat is built to order so that the cold finger length and conflat-style vacuum flange may be sized to fit the user's chamber. Check out our Special Values Page for a model ST-400H-2 ultra high vacuum, high temperature (800 K) cryostat.

Standard Configuration
Designed for experiments in ultra high vacuum, the Janis Research ST-400 includes the following components:
