Oxford Instruments’ unique expertise and experience in the design, manufacture and support of beamline superconducting magnet and cryogenic systems enables us to provide sample environments for applications encompassing neutron scattering, muon spectroscopy, X-ray scattering and XMCD, as selected by world-leading facilities. High fields and low/ultra-low temperatures are provided in systems with helium-recondensing, Cryofree®, or conventional helium-cooled cryostats, including UHV cryostats for synchrotrons. We offer Active Shielding on high field, wide angle systems to reduce magnetic footprint, and asymmetric or dual symmetric/asymmetric mode for polarised neutron experiments. Fast ramping split-pair and orthogonal coil systems, including vector mode, are available for XMCD.


Janis Research Company has supplied dozens of cryogenic systems to both neutron and synchrotron user facilities around the world.  Both environments have unique requirements and Janis is happy to tailor our designs to meet local dimensional standards, or to meet the requirements of a specific experiment.  System designs include both wet and dry cryostats with base temperatures of 300 mK, 1.5 K or 4 K, and maximum temperatures of up to 800 K.  UHV-compatible sub-K ARPES, continuous flow helium cryostats and cryogen free cryostats are available.  See Rachael Floyd from Janis at the workshop to discuss your cryogenic requirements.

Taiyo Koko Co., Ltd. manufactures various vanadium products. There is a vanadium sample holder in it. The vanadium sample holder is used for neutron scattering experiments. In the vanadium sample holder with a thickness of 0.1mm, the Bragg peak derived from vanadium is very small. In addition, we developed a sample holder of same thickness made by ‘Null-alloy’.

We provide our customers with superior sample holders for neutron scattering experiments.


Based in Wellington, New Zealand, HTS-110 has been an innovator in design and manufacture of a range of superconducting magnets utilizing High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) wire since 2004. Taking full advantage of the properties of HTS wire, HTS-110 supplies custom cryogen-free magnets to the world’s leading neutron and synchrotron facilities. These magnets feature compactness, low fringe field, fast ramping rate and low maintenance and operating costs; they are very robust and easy to operate. These advantages make HTS magnets especially suited to neutron and synchrotron x-ray scattering experiments where user space may be restricted and complex geometries are required; or where the magnetic field needs to be changed regularly, or rotated relative to the beam.
