DESCRIPTION
The HCP621G-PM (V11.00.00) is a gastight, temperature-controlled probing stage capable of heating and cooling between -190°C and 600°C. Four (4) independent electrical probers are manually positioned onto the sample, which rests on a 30mm x 28mm silver thermal block. Electrical heating provides precision temperature control up to 600°C, while Instec's optional LN2-P system enables sample cooling via LN2 circulation down to -190°C.
The HCP621G-PM gastight chamber supports a positive-pressure gas purge up to +0.5 Bar for reactive/ Inert gasses or humidity control. The alternative HCP421V-PM model comes with a vacuum-tight chamber, and is rated for a positive pressure +0.5 Bar gas purge, or a rough 10*10^-3 mBar evacuation for prevention of condensation or oxidation while heating/ cooling. The vacuum-tight version is strongly recommended for extended duration experiments at low temperatures, but has a reduced upper heating limit of 400ºC under vacuum.
This miniature probing stage is ideal for performing electrical device or materials characterization, and can easily be used with optical instruments to add temperature control capabilities to almost any optical tool.
Upgrade to the HCP621G-PM+ model to access advanced customization options such as additional electrical feedthroughs, transmission apertures, triaxial/ SMA connector options, custom lids and much more.

Upgrade to the HCP621G-PMH non-paramagnetic probing chamber to perform Hall Effect studies with simultaneous precision temperature control and atmospheric control.
