Lake Shore Probe Station Overview

Lake Shore's cryogenic probe stations provide precisely controlled environments for non-destructive measurement of the electrical properties of materials and early-stage electronic devices.

Probe stations enable physical scientists and researchers to conduct fundamental science through convenient, repeatable measurements producing consistent results. Probe stations are versatile and flexible research platforms that can be used in dedicated applications or as multi-use community research assets.

Typical applications include sampling IV and CV curves over a wide range of temperatures measuring microwave and electro-optical responses, characterising magneto-transport properties in variable magnetic fields, Hall effect measurements to understand carrier mobility, and a variety of other materials solutions.

All Lake Shore probe stations offer excellent temperature stability due to the highly efficient radiation shielding designs and have a low susceptibility to vibration.
