Which CryoProbe types are or will be available?
Please ask your local B
RUKER representative for the current choice of probes and
accessories.
Can the CryoProbe be used with any magnet and spectrometer?
Any standard bore magnet can host a CryoProbe. However, specifications are
guaranteed only if the B
0
homogeneity of the magnet suffices (i.e. if it allows to
reach specifications with recent conventional B
RUKER probes) and if a BOSS-2
shim system is present. One mechanical restriction is given by the clearance be-
low the magnet between shim system and floor that is needed for insertion of the
CryoProbe. Another restriction can be vacuum valves, drop-off plates or the like at
the magnet dewar bottom. Ask your B
RUKER representative for compatibilities.
Since the CryoProbe System must interact with an A
VANCE spectrometer, it can-
not be connected to other spectrometer types.
How much space is required by the CryoProbe System?
Rough estimate: 6 m
2
. If the He Compressor and the optional water chiller are lo-
cated in an adjacent room, about 4 m
2
suffices. See the ‘CryoProbe Site Planning
Guide’ for details.
Can conventional probes still be used on a spectrometer that is
equipped with a CryoProbe System?
Yes. A conventional probe can be connected to the spectrometer as usual. How-
ever, certain special probes or auxiliary devices might cause geometrical conflicts
which can be easily and quickly resolved by removing the guiding rods of the Cryo
Probe Mounting Hardware.
Is a VT gas cooler recommended?
The CryoProbe can be operated with and without a VT gas cooler. Currently, only
the BCU05 is approved. It is needed for measurements below room temperature
and slightly above room temperature (i.e. up to 3 - 5°C higher). A nitrogen evapo-
rator must not be used.
