Configurable components on the SideKick Cryostats
Explore the add-ons to our flagship cryostats. Option compatibility is subject to individual project requirements.

Cold Plate Size
Standard:
Ø200 mm
4 Interface ports
Larger option:
Ø250 mm
8 Interface Ports



Chamber Castles
Add additional height or working configurations to your sample chamber.
Multiple standard options available, contact our sales department for more information.




Windows
Take a look inside your sample chamber. Add windows to both the vacuum chamber and the interior radiation shields.
Multiple window sizes, materials, and coatings are available. Contact our sales department for more information.




DC Interfaces
Interfaces available to pass low-frequency signals through the vacuum chamber walls. One DB25 connection for customer use comes standard on SideKick systems. Additional DC connections may be added:
Available options: DB25, Micro D25, D9, and Micro D100




RF Interfaces
High frequency signals may be passed through vacuum chamber walls via coaxial cables using SMA interfaces.
Available options: 4x RF, 6x RF, and 20x RF


High Current Leads
Equip your cold plate with thermally lagged high-current lugs capable of powering a superconducting magnet.
Available in pairs of 2, 4, or 6



Fiber Optic
Multiple fiber optic cables can be fed through the vacuum chamber walls via compression fittings.

Gas Tubes
Introduce a controlled gas to your sample chamber via a gas tube feedthrough.

Temperature Sensors
Mounted in multiple locations throughout the system, these sensors keep track of your experiments down to near-absolute zero.
SideKick cryostats come standard with four sensors for monitoring system performance.
Easily view and record thermal data through the Core Controller software.
Additional sensors can be added to suit your needs. Contact our sales department for more information.

Integrated Bakeout
Optional heating package that drastically improves vacuum quality and reduces the warmup time.

Low Vibration Insert
Improve the SideKick’s already legendary low-vibration performance with an added insert that removes any additional kinetic energy. Perfect for AFM applications.
