    Which option is right for my experiment
    
    All of our devices apply stresses and strains to small samples. Which one you need will depend on the force you want to deliver and your experimental probe.
  - CS1x0 series strain cells
    CS1x0 strain cells
    
    These devices are the original commercial cryogenic strain cells. They are a low-cost option to strain small samples at low temperature and under high magnetic field. The smallest variant, the CS100 is compatible with a 1-inch bore, such as a Quantum Design PPMS/Dynacool. The integrated sensor in the CS1X0 series measures applied displacement.
  - FC1X0 series stress cells
    FC1X0 stress cells
    
    The FC1X0 series strain cells are high-performance cryogenic stress cells, capable of applying large forces at cryogenic temperature and high magnetic field. They have an outer diameter of 25.4 mm making them compatible with a Quantum Design PPMS/Dynacool. The integrated sensor in the FC1X0 series measures applied force.
  - UC200 – Universal stress/strain cell
    UC200 – Universal stress/strain cell
    
    The UC200 is a high-performance cell that can be used to measure, stress, strain and the elastic properties of materials at cryogenic temperature and low magnetic field. The integrated sensors measure both Force and Displacement.
  - UC2X0T series Universal transmission cell
    UC2X0T – Universal Transmission cell
    
    The UC2X0T has a large optical access cone allowing a range of transmission-mode, beamline or XRS measurement to be performed while stress/strain is applied and and the elastic properties of materials at cryogenic temperature and low magnetic field are measured. These variants are mainly used at synchrotrons and other beam-line facilities. The integrated sensors measure both Force and Displacement.
  - MC051 Ultraminiature UHV stress cells
    MC051 Ultraminiature UHV cells
    
    These devices are designed for use in UHV systems for use in conjunction with e.g. UHV, ARPES and MOKE probes. Their ultra-small footprint fits the standard Flag-style vacuum transfer systems (omicron sample plates). These devices are entirely mechanical with strain applied using a differential screw turned using a wobble stick and force is indicated using a needle dial.
  - LC100 – Extreme Environment Load Cells
    LC100 – Extreme Environment Load Cells
    
    The LC100 is the only commercially available load cell designed to provide low-drift force measurements at both cryogenic and elevated temperature. Compatible with high vacuum and fitted with overload protection, these robust sensors have applications in high and low temperature industrial processes, cryogen handling, and aerospace applications.
  - Cryostat Integration
    Cryostat integration
    
    Razorbill Instruments products are designed to work with a wide variety of Cryostats. In most cases, it will be down the the end-user to install the required feedthroughs wiring and bracket in the device but in some cases we can supply more complete systems so a user can simply buy all the parts and the hardware will click together and the experiment can begin.
