Testimonials

“

The MPMS and PPMS systems provide a very solid platform for developing further custom measurement hardware and software. We have developed special fiber-optic feedthroughs to enable photoluminescence and photo-conductivity measurements on organic and perovskite samples in the PPMS-DynaCool. In two years, the suite has had 80 users, 38 groups, 11 different departments, 8 universities and HEIs, 2 companies and over 30 publications in peer reviewed journals.

We have greatly benefited from the team at Quantum Design International. We instantly had worldwide coverage for our product and their sales and service staff were able to promote the product quickly and handle on-site repairs.

“

I think that the OptiCool provides a really excellent opportunity to do novel far infrared spectroscopy on materials in a magnetic field environment. The OptiCool has really nice optical access because the sorts of experiments we do, we have to bring in multiple optical beams to be able to excite a sample and then probe these dynamics in a time resolved fashion.

I would recommend QDI to any company with an appropriate technical product needing consistent sales and service coverage worldwide.
