The University of Southampton awarded a contract to Coldedge International for the provision of a closed-loop cryogenic cooler system to support cold finger cryostats, specifically an Oxford Instruments MO-CRYO2 Microstat magnet cryostat.

The system is required to cool and maintain the magnet temperature just above 4K, the side arm below 30K, and the sample around 6K with low vibration, aiding research on interactions between neighbouring polariton condensates in a lattice.

The contract value was £62,181.
