All researchers, engineers, PhD students or post-doctoral researchers working with cryogenic experiments know how time-consuming it is to build a system before recording the first data. It can take a few years when starting a new experiment, or at least a few months to customise an existing setup.

Indeed, vacuum-proof cryogenic interfaces must be developed, dedicated amplifiers, circulators, couplers, sensors must be installed and connected to a customised RF, DC or optical “circuitry”. Thermal constraints must be taken into account at each step of the process. And finally, since ultimate sensitivity, speed or performance is often required, the whole setup must possess very low noise properties so that the weakest signals can be brought to room temperature with as little distortion as possible.

We have developed a turnkey modular cryogenic platform so that components only have to be placed on the cryogenic stage on a patented heat-sunk chip holder. Control and readout of chips or components are done though a user-friendly software interfaced with low-noise electronics amplifiers and current-supply sources.
