We value the cooperation with our suppliers, contractors and end-users very highly. That is why our prices have remained unchanged for you for several years despite the gradual increase in material and production costs.
However, the prices for raw materials and energy have risen significantly recently, which compels us to adjust our prices. This will come into effect on November 1st 2021.
We hope that you understand these changes and that you will continue to be satisfied with our products and services in the future.
Dear valued business partner
For the past 25 years Ferrovac has had the legal form of a limited liability company (GmbH).
We are pleased to announce that starting from June 21st 2021, our legal status has changed to a shareholders company (AG).
Ferrovac AG is the full legal successor, and none of our ongoing business relations or contracts are affected in any way.
However, we need your help and kindly ask you to change your records to the new name Ferrovac AG.
We are looking forward to the next 25 years and more!
Kind regards, Urs Maier

Another good example of Ferrovac's excellent collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific!
The video nicely shows how Thermo's new Inert Gas Shuttle (IGS) interfaces with the Ferrovac docking station.
With a few simple moves, the IGS can be exchanged with the Ultra High Vacuum Transfer Module (UHVCTM).
Equipped with a liquid nitrogen dewar for active sample cooling, thermal shields (CTD50SHIELDS) enshrouding the sample, as well as a temperature measuring kit, the Ultra High Vacuum Cryo Transfer Module (UHVCTM) enables transport of sensitive samples at cryogenic temperatures under true UHV conditions (E-11mbar).
The UHVCTM is, especially compact, lightweight, robust and easy to use.

Inert Gas Glove Box @LISTThis Ferrovac Ultra High Vacuum Technology glovebox configuration, installed at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), is equipped with our FastLoader Cryo Station and Docking kit for the Ultra High Vacuum Cryo Transfer Module (UHVCTM). It allows to prepare samples in a liquid nitrogen bath and transfer afterwards with the Ferrovac Ultra High Vacuum Cryo Transfer Module (UHVCTM) to different analytical devices at cryo and UHV condition.
Many thanks to Olivier De Castro and the whole team at LIST which helps to realize this project.

Common flag style holders do not reproducibly snap into position, nor do they have electrical contacts. With this design, we are adding the possibility of wiring up devices on flag style holders to up to 13 electrical contacts.This particulair version is optimized for cryogenic applications and can be loaded/unloaded in any kind of geometrical orientation (i.e. vertical, upside-down..).
The receiver is equipped with a lever mechanism, pressing the sample plate down onto the cold surface. Locking is engaged by approximately a quarter turn using the pincer on the wobblestick used to handle the sample. By tightening the screw, the lever presses onto both sides of the sample plate, forcing it down.
Loading/unloading of the sample and operation of the locking screw requires a WMG40 dual shaft wobblestick with PGWMS(OM) pincer for flag style plates. The use of a WM40 single shaft wobblestick with GRABSHOM sample grabber is not recommended.

A 50W pyrolitic boron nitride heater in combination with a molybdenum receiver for flag style plates provides a reliable solution for sample annealing. A K-type thermocouple is mounted on the sample receiver.
HSOMPBN50 heaters can be implemented in fully configured heating stages including flange assembly with electrical feedthroughs. The HSOMPBN50 is also used in BOOMERAX manipulators and can be easily adapted to practically any commercially available XYZ manipulator.
