Lake Shore Cryotronics

Janis Research was acquired by Lake Shore Cryotronics in August 2020, allowing Lake Shore to expand its product offerings to include liquid nitrogen (LN2), liquid helium (LHe), and closed-cycle refrigerator (cryogen-free) cryostats, LHe and cryogen-free superconducting magnet systems, cryogenic and cryogen-free probe stations, and various lab cooling systems. However, the acquisition does not include the Janis dilution refrigerator or He-3 ultra-low temperature (ULT) system product lines, which are available from JanisULT, a separate, privately-owned company. With over 50 years of manufacturing experience and extensive engineering capabilities, Janis Research offers cryogenic systems for a broad range of applications, with cooling provided by liquid helium, liquid nitrogen, or mechanical refrigerators. The company's diverse product range includes cryostats for optical microscopy, FTIR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy, continuous flow and Helium-3 cryostats, 4 K and 10 K closed-cycle refrigerators, dilution refrigerators, superconducting magnet systems, and micromanipulated probe stations. The last investment in Janis Research was a Private Equity Round investment by Artemis Capital Partners on 14 June 2011.
