• Vacuum to 1×10-9 mbar measured in Chamber with an Inficon Vacuum Gauge continuously from atmosphere to UHV
• Ultra-low loss Ø280mm Optical Feedthrough.
• Customisable stopping criteria (R Value Variation / Set Time Value)
• Design & supply of MGSE/OGSE/EGSE to facilitate Bakeout
• Auto-Isolation valve

Heating & Cooling:
• Customisable IUT Radiative Heating (Up to 200°C / 473K)
• Customisable Thermal Cycling Programs (+200 / -192°C) (473 / 81K)
• Customisable IUT Cooling (< 20°C / 293K)
• Up to 12 Temperature Probes
• LN2 Cold Trap available (-192°C / 81K at Cold Trap)
• Cold Plate available with Thermocouple Monitoring

Reporting:
• Bakeout Report (Temperature, Pressure, IUT Temperature)
• Supply of Raw Data (Chamber & IUT Monitoring)
• TML/CVCM Characterisation Report
• Bakeout Certificate of Conformance

Options:
• Dry N2 Purge available
