The Cryolab offers a variety of experimental test stations and infrastructure. LHe cryostats of 200 mm x 1.2 m, 350 mm x 1.6 m (1.8m) and 500 mm x 1.8 m are available for tests (cryostat inserts are adapted to client needs). Several dedicated cryostat set-ups guarantee reproducible measurements of standard cryogenic material properties:

1. Electrical properties of material samples of thin films on dielectric substrate or foils up to bulk metals and superconductors - RRR
   • RRR of bulk material
   • RRR of thin foils
   • RRR test stand for films on dielectric substrate
2. Test stand for Tc measurement of SC thin films
3. Test stand for the SC cable splice resistance of LHC type and new methods
4. Thermal conductivity and diffusivity of metals, insulators and compound materials
5. Thermal expansion of samples with a defined geometry in a Pyrex® double tube dilatometer. The new currently commissioned Michelson-interferometer based dilatometer will enable measurements in a much wider range of sample geometries and from 4.5 K to 293 K
6. Gas permeability of helium through membranes in collaboration with TE/VSC
7. Variable temperature cryostat insert
8. Solenoidal magnetic field background cryostat for up to 5 T, sample in vacuum or LHe condition
