cryogenic probe station

Measurement at low temperature is a prevalent requirement in applications ranging from semiconductor characterisation or quantum computing to molecular or nano-electronics. KREUS has a wide range of field proven systems using either cost efficient flow cryostat (LN2 down to 77K or LHe down to 2.2K) or mechanical coolers with cooling power up to 1W at 4.2K.

High Temperature Probe Stations

high temperature probe station

We offer two systems allowing for high temperature measurement. Our first platform showcase a compact strip heater granting very fine control up to 125C. Our second platform is equipped with six cartridges heaters with up to 300W and a rated operational temperature up to 500C (Temperature up to 700C under a non corrosive environment possible).
The high power allows to study samples up to 2” even when a large amount of process gas is ran through the system. Power switch allows to also operate at smaller power ratings when operated under vacuum.
KREUS also has designed a unit using miniature button heater (DIA 7mm) with temperature above 1000C. High temperature probe station comes standard with ceramic probe holders to ensure longevity of the system.

Organic Chemistry probe station

KREUS has designed a new platform specifically tailored for highly sensitive materials like organic semi-conductors or delicate devices. We have developed a sample transfer scheme that allows in-situ sample installation and environmentally controlled transport into the probe station chamber. We have also developed a robust gas handling system to allow measurements under various process gas to help preserve sample integrity.

Physical Environment
KREUS provides extreme physical environments:

  • Pressure and vacuum (from high pressure to extreme high vacuum)
  • Refrigeration and cryogenics (from LN2 flow cryostat to advanced dilution refrigerator)
  • Magnetism (from high field superconducting magnet to high speed single coil pulse generator)
  • Vibration free (sounds pressure level and seismic waves management )

Electrical Engineering
KREUS electronics (power delivery, high frequency, signal conditioning and data acquisition) provide reliable operation and seamless automation of your instrument. All of our electronics are CSA certified. We write dedicated software for your application and integrate it with low noise and high frequency electronics into robust and user-friendly designs. Element consulting team will ensure that your instrument achieves maximum performance.

Mechanical Engineering
KREUS uses modern 3D CAD software to:

  • sketch and develop concepts
  • details parts and models
  • optimize performances with Finite-Element-Analysis
  • integrate assemblies
  • draft technical drawings
  • manage delivery schedule/ inventory/ fabrication flow.

Information management, data analysis and rendering
We use up to date communication and management tools to ensure that all information about your complex instrumentation is and will be readily accessible to current and future users. We routinely perform bibliographic reviews and perform background research. We also perform data analysis and rendering on request.

manufacturing

KREUS  works as much as possible with his local network of expert technicians and machinists. This approach enables the effective communication essential to high quality and cost effective one-off production.

OEM components

KREUS DESIGN sources key components hardware, parts, and components from top-tier manufacturers. We understand that budgetary constraints are always a major consideration in any scientific pursuit and we will ensure that resources will be allocated where it counts the most. Choices can be overwhelming, we take care of the component selection so that you can focus on what matters the most for you: getting unique data/function to publish/produce faster. With our international network of suppliers and manufacturers, we provide the right parts for your project at the best cost.

Assembly & Commissioning

Building complex scientific instrument is a delicate task. Our in-house final assembly and commissioning processes are your guarantee of quality. From aligning a 2 meters transfer arm to bonding a 40 AWG wire to a piezoelectric actuator, our technicians handle the large and the small, the heavy and the delicate with the utmost care.

assembling process

KREUS has experience assembling the most miniature and intricate devices and mounting them into purpose-built vacuum chambers. We understand the challenges of handling clean parts for ultra-high vacuum or ensuring that multilayer coated diamond windows remains scratch free. Our scientists test every system KREUS builds to ensure that it conforms to client specifications. KREUS carefully fixtures and packs its equipment to ensure that it can handle the stress of shipment to the final destination. We can travel to site to install our solutions.
