The
Fridge

The original Maybell workhorse, built to last

The Fridge offers 360˚ access and proven reliability with a footprint compact enough for almost any lab.

Proven reliability

The Fridge was built from the ground up to eliminate common failure points and maximize experimental uptime.

More than three years on market with a proven track record of outstanding performance
No solder joints or acid flux to degrade over time and cause leaks
Maintenance-free micro-root blowers replace failure-prone scroll pumps
Metal-to-metal and welded connections instead of rubber O-rings, indium, soft solder, and epoxy
Self-regenerating helium traps that never require manual refilling
Industry-leading service and support backing our confidence in system reliability

360° access

Enjoy a revolutionary design that transforms how researchers interact with dilution refrigerators.

Open-door sample access provides unprecedented access to your experimental setup
Integrated chamber lift for full system disassembly and easy sample preparation and manipulation
Parallel front-loading wiring inserts allow complete wiring assemblies to be prepared outside the fridge
All-around accessibility eliminates blind spots and provides a similar experience to traditional systems

Compact footprint

Take advantage of more experimental capacity in less laboratory space.

Utilizes only 10-20% of the floor space required by comparable systems
No overhead superstructure required, allowing installation in standard-height laboratories
Fits within two standard 19" racks with 9U of space for your electronics
Reduced infrastructure requirements for cooling water, electricity, and HVAC
