Calibration Services

Temperature Controllers and Monitors

The temperature sensors are intended for measurements of temperature in various areas of cryogenic engineering and low-temperature physics.  They cover the operating temperature range from  0.03 K  to  450 K.

The sensors provide:

wide temperature range for operation (0.03 K to 450 K) 
monotonic response over a wide temperature range
small temperature reading errors for operation in magnetic fields
small size
extremely fast response to temperature changes
high radiation tolerance
high quality and low price

We also develop and produce special-purpose devices such as microcalorimeters and multi-purpose sensors. You can order it.

 We offer fourteen models of sensors:
