Profile: Quantum Design, Inc. develops & markets automated temperature and magnetic field testing platforms for materials characterization. The PPMS® features an open architecture, variable temperature-field system, designed to perform a variety of automated measurements. Sample environment controls include fields up to ± 16 tesla and temperature range of 1.9 - 400 K. Its advanced expandable design combines many features in one instrument to make the PPMS the most versatile system of its kind. It is controlled by the model 6000, a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled device that eliminates the need to use or purchase external bridges, current or voltage sources, or lock-in amplifiers. Our SP5000 high performance DC SQUID controller for up to eight channels feature remote computer & GPIB port, simultaneous overall display of one to eight channels on the front panel LCD show independent values for range, gain, bandwidth, status, & filter states and 16-bit A/D converter is capable of multiplexing all eight channels of SQUID output.
