Address multiple noise sources:

  • VIBRATIONAL
  • MAGNETIC
  • ELECTRICAL
  • AUDIBLE
  • XUHV VACUUM LEVELS
  • TEMPERATURE STABILITY

ELIMINATE INTERFERENCE

STINGER™ NOISE CANCELLATION

ELIMINATE VIBRATION

•  under 10 nanometers of displacement at sample point

• lower vibration configurations also available 

• ColdEdge’s STINGER™ provides the lowest vibration closed-cycle cryogenic system commercially available in the 2026 market.

REMOVE MAGNETIC NOISE

•  CCR expander 1.8+ meters away

•  the STINGER™ transfer line and cryostats use 316L stainless steel and high purity copper (titanium can replace 316, increased vacuum) as non-magnetic materials

ISOLATE ELECTRICAL PARTS

•  the STINGER™ flexible transfer line can be electrically isolated from the cryocooler body.

BLOCK AUDIBLE INTERFERENCE

•  the STINGER™ cryocooler body can be enclosed in an acoustic box to eliminate audible disturbances.

XUHV VACUUM LEVELS

• Cryostat bakeable to 200° C

• Titanium and high purity copper cryostats available

EXCELLENT TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Plug-and-Perform

HOW Stinger® WORKS:

A closed loop re-circulator moves helium gas through three stages to cool the sample space (separate from the cryocooler circuit).​

> Gas flows through Stinger transfer line ​
to cool experimental cold head​

> Used gas returns to cooler via transfer line​

> Cooled gas exits to be re-circulated by pump​

key Stinger™ System Features

Major Laboratory Benefits:

WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGES

•  enables 3.8 K – 800 K
directly at the sample point

all capacity measurement takes at far end of gas line, directly at sample mount

ELIMINATE VIBRATION

•  under 10 nanometers of displacement at sample point

• lower vibration configurations also available 

ColdEdge’s STINGER™ provides the lowest vibration closed-cycle cryogenic system commercially available in the 2026 market.

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION

•  the STINGER™ flexible transfer line can be electrically isolated from the cryocooler body.

XUHV VACUUM LEVELS

• Cryostat bakeable to 200° C

• Titanium and high purity copper cryostats available

LONG FLEXIBLE LINE

•  reduces vibrational interference
to <10 nm at sample point

•  custom lengths available:
1.8m or 3m (6 ft or 10 ft)

•  freedom for XYZ and rotational cryostat movement

REMOVE MAGNETIC NOISE

•  CCR expander 1.8+ meters away

•  the STINGER™ transfer line and cryostats use 316L stainless steel and high purity copper (titanium can replace 316, increased vacuum) as non-magnetic materials

MULTI-EXPERIMENT APPLICATIONS

•  plugs into a wide variety of experimental cryostats

•  increase lab productivity by testing more samples/spaces per system cooldown (~4.5 hours)

• compatible with most pre-existing major brand LHe flow cryostats

COMPLETELY CLOSED CYCLE COOLING

•  system can run 24/7 all year long

•  continuous operation without liquid Helium top-offs

•  converts multiple open-flow cryostats to a recirculating system

REMOVE AUDIBLE SOUND

•  the STINGER™ cryocooler body can be enclosed in an acoustic box to eliminate audible disturbances.

• noisy compressors can be remoted located up to 20 meters away

ADAPTIVE LAB PLACEMENT

•  the STINGER™ body works in any orientation, even upside down!

•  small lab footprint – no more planning around LHe refills, Dewar tanks, and floor space

•  automatic operation offered

•  moves the cryocooler machinery off-table/off-chamber and away from experiment workspace
