Know-how
The CRYOSCAN Company is specialised in the design, development and manufacturing of experimental custom-made devices, particularly in the field of vacuum, ultra-high vacuum and cryogenics. The company relies on its founders’s know-how of more than 15 years in these fields. Our services cover the development and/or integration of specific instruments as well as the design and realisation of complete “turnkey” devices. CRYOSCAN also offers a range of specific products especially for the handling of samples at cryogenic temperatures and in a vacuum and ultra-high vacuum environment.
Our means
We have our own research department to design your systems. The different manufacturing stages of our components are ensured by specialised companies.
We favor local companies as much as possible to guarantee a better control of the manufacturing monitoring. The specialised components that we integrate are chosen from among the catalogues of recognised suppliers in the field of ultra-high vacuum and cryogenics. We can intervene as an integrator of a large number of instruments or components in these fields. The assembly, the validation tests as well as measurements are carried out in our workshops.
