Title:
CRYOGENIC COOLING APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/196979
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus for cooling one or more samples includes a cryostat with a first wall forming an inner chamber with an opening for receiving the one or more samples. A second wall forms an outer chamber adapted to insulate the inner chamber and a channel leading to the opening of the inner chamber. A seal selectively seals the opening to the inner chamber, and a cryocooler thermally links to the inner chamber, such as by way of a flexible strap. The inner chamber may entirely surround the outer chamber, and yet via the channel allow for the removal of the one or more samples from the inner chamber while maintaining the evacuated outer chamber. The inner chamber may also be fully contained within the outer chamber, which may be evacuated. Related methods are also disclosed.
