VersaLab is specifically designed for magnetic characterization up to 3 tesla and over a wide temperature range (50 K-1000 K) without the need of liquid cryogens. VersaLab utilizes technology developed for Quantum Design’s popular Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS®).
- Free time while instrument performs the automated measurements;
- Free space in the lab because of its compact size and portability;
- Freedom from cooling water and high power requirements;
- Freedom from liquid cryogens;
- A single hardware configuration for a wide range of temperatures, fields, and magnetic moments;
