Cleaning the sample cavity 6.4.1
The CryoProbe sample cavity is extremely fragile. Even a tiny scratch inside can
spoil the CryoProbe performance and entail a major repair action. Preventive
cleaning is not recommended - clean only in case of problems.
If dirt or liquid must be removed from the sample cavity, follow the procedure giv-
en in Table 6.4.
below.
b.6 Put the protective cap onto the He steel-cylinder.
b.7 Replace the He steel-cylinder.
CAUTION: When moving the steel-cylinders, keep them as far as possi-
ble from the magnet but always outside the 0.5 mT range.
b.8 Attach the new He steel-cylinder securely to a wall, mount the He Reg-
ulator, and fix the safety cable of the He Hose at the He steel-cylinder.
b.9 Open the valve on the He steel-cylinder. The primary pressure should
read about 200 bar and the secondary pressure 22-25 bar as before.
b.10 He leakage test
:
Close the He steel-cylinder main valve again and wait for about ½ h
until the pressure has equilibrated across the line. Read the secondary
pressure, wait for about 2 h, and read again. If the pressure has
dropped, search for leaks with a He detector or an appropriate liquid
(see "He leakage" on page 81
).

step action
k.1 Remove the CryoProbe from the magnet and observe all handling pre-
cautions.
CAUTION: Do not put any objects or cleaning devices into the sample
cavity! In particular, soft cotton buds must not be introduced
under any circumstances - the CryoProbe cavity would al-
most inevitably be damaged!
