Glove Box Extension Kit with FerroLoader Docking Station and Cryo-Loading Station

• Description

  • Uninterrupted Cryogenic Conditions: Maintain a continuous cold chain from freezing to UHV transfer, minimizing the risk of sample damage.
  • Minimize Contamination Risk: Maintain an unbroken chain of inert gas and UHV environments, preventing sample degradation.
  • Streamline Your Workflow: Perform all preparation and transfer steps within a single, glovebox-integrated system.

  This glovebox extention kit is mounted directly to an existing glovebox side wall.
  It enables a complete cryogenic transfer, designed to maintain complete control over air-sensitive samples, from inert gas preparation to ultra-high vacuum (UHV).

  Key Workflow Steps:

  • Inert Gas Preparation: Begin your process within the controlled environment of your glove box, ensuring your samples remain protected from oxygen and moisture contamination.
  • LN2 Freezing: Utilize the integrated cryo-loading station to rapidly freeze your samples with liquid nitrogen (LN2).
  • Sample Mounting: Mount your frozen samples onto carriers directly in the LN2 bath within the glovebox.
  • UHV Transfer: Dock a UHV cryo-transfer suitcase (UHVCTS) to the FerroLoader docking station. Crucially, your samples are parked on a cold stage within a vacuum chamber reaching 1E-7 to 1E-9 mbar while the suitcase is prepared. This ensures your cryogenically frozen samples remain protected during the transfer process.
