STINGER™ NOISE CANCELLATION
• under 10 nanometers of displacement at sample point
When combined with edge-welded bellows and an Ultra Low Vibration gas gap design, ColdEdge’s STINGER™ provides the lowest vibration closed-cycle cryogenic system commerically available in the 2025 market.
• CCR expander 1.8m plus away
• the STINGER™ transfer line is available with all 319SS non-magnetic materials
• run 319SS or titaniam cryostats in closed-cycle
• the STINGER™ flexible transfer line can be electrically isolated from the cryocooler body.
• the STINGER™ cryocooler body can be enclosed in an acoustic box to eliminate audible disturbances.
Stinger™ System Features
Key Laboratory Benefits:
WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGES
• enables 3.8 K – 800 K
directly at the sample point
• up to 1000 mW capacity at 4.2 K
ADAPTIVE LAB PLACEMENT
• the STINGER™ body works in any orientation, even upside down!
• small lab footprint – no more planning around LHe refills, Dewar tanks, and floor space
• automatic operation offered
• moves the cryocooler machinery off-table/off-chamber and away from experiment workspace
LONG FLEXIBLE LINE
• reduces vibrational interference
to <10 nm at sample point
• custom lengths available:
1.8m or 3m (6 ft or 10 ft)
• freedom for XYZ and rotational cryostat movement
MULTI-EXPERIMENT APPLICATIONS
• plugs into a wide variety of experimental cryostats
• one STINGER™ system can cool multiple cryostats per day
• increase lab productivity by testing more samples/spaces off a single cooldown (~4.5 hours)
COMPLETELY CLOSED CYCLE COOLING
• system can run 24/7 all year long
• continuous operation without liquid Helium top-offs
• converts multiple open-flow cryostats to a recirculating system
ONGOING R&D
STINGER™ Capacity Upgrades
releasing Fall 2025:
1500 mW @ 4.2 K
expected Winter 2025:
2000 mW @ 4.2 K
ADDITIONAL ISOLATION CONSIDERATIONS
• Compressor gas lines can be up to 20m away from experiement.
• The cryocooler body does NOT share vacuum space with the cryostat, thus the sample chamber is fully bakeable.
