Oxford Diffraction's patented Helijet has been specifically designed for cryo-crystallography experiments where very-low temperatures are required.

An open flow helium cooler, Helijet has been calibrated using the phase transition of TbVO4 and independently proven to provide stable cooling over the temperature range 10 K to 90 K.

• 10 K base temperature
• Effective cold stream up to 5 mm from the tip of the nozzle
• Uniform temperature distribution
• <2 litres per hour helium consumption (at 15 K)
• Patented
