Bring world-leading expertise to your product development with our superconducting magnets and cryogenics consultancy services
Oxford Instruments has been designing and manufacturing superconducting magnet devices and cryogenic cooling systems since 1959. From the beginning we have been innovation leaders and award winners with a global presence in major industrial and research sectors.
This innovation continues today with the development of new cryogen-free cooling solutions, design tools for high temperature superconducting (HTS) applications, improved Nb3Sn wires, and user-friendly refrigerators for sub-100 mK temperatures.
By choosing Oxford Instruments, you access a team of cryogenics and superconductivity experts and 50 years of manufacturing and innovation experience as a world-leading company.
Summary of services we can provide:
- Modelling and design of systems and their components for cryogenic and magnet applications, using in-house software and proprietary products such as ANSYS, OPERA and COMSOL
- The development of new processes and device concepts, protyping and testing
- Materials and technology feasibility assessments and project management
