The
Fast
Fridge

Fast turnaround, low cost, maximum flexibility

The Fast Fridge is affordable, flexible, and quick so you can iterate faster and get from idea to impact faster.

Lowest cost

Maximize your research budget with the most affordable path to millikelvin temperatures, without compromising performance.

Lower acquisition cost than competing dilution refrigerators
Reduced infrastructure requirements with compact footprint and integrated systems (e.g., no liquid nitrogen)
Minimal maintenance costs with self-regenerating traps and maintenance-free pumps
Energy-efficient design that cuts electricity consumption and cooling water requirements

Maximum flexibility

Adapt quickly to changing research priorities with a system designed for versatility and rapid reconfiguration.

Configurable 30mK or 10mK base temperature and custom shielding
Quick-swap wire loaders allows experiments to be prepared in parallel and swapped in minutes
Upgradable design lets you use the same wire tree for the Fridge+ or Big Fridge with no modifications

Fastest cooldown

The Fast Fridge is purpose-built for high-throughput experimentation and rapid characterization—all with minimal downtime.

24-hour turn around from room temperature to base base temperature and back*
Streamlined thermal path with reduced thermal mass for maximum efficiency
Automated cooldown sequences with state-based triggers so that every sample is cooled as quickly as possible

Obsessively designed & tested

Unmatched reliability

No scroll pumps, no solder joints or acid flux, no indium or epoxy, 90% reduction in rubber gaskets (compared with leading competitor), and self-regenerating helium traps

User-centric design

Front-opening access, integrated workspace, and intuitive controls that let you focus on your research, not your fridge

Superior performance

Consistently performs better than specifications with base temperatures below 10mK/30mK and the quietest experimental environment in the industry

Expert support

Three-year comprehensive and ten-year dilution unit warranty with same-day response and a dedicated global team to help you succeed

American made

Designed and manufactured in Denver, Colorado with rigorous quality control and testing
