The University of Bristol awarded a contract to LOT-Quantum Design Ltd for the supply and delivery of one SQUID magnetometer with a superconducting magnet and variable temperature insert in a liquid helium Dewar.

The system includes a DC SQUID capable of measuring magnetic moments of 5x10^-8 emu from samples mounted in a pressure cell of approximately 20g weight, and a variable temperature cryostat insert operating from 350K to around 2K.

The magnet can be operated in continuous, ramping, or persistent mode.

The contract value is £250,000.
