Overview
Quantum Design makes automated temperature and magnetic-field testing platforms for materials characterization. Its systems control temperature and apply magnetic fields to samples to automatically measure magnetic and electrical properties, with software that stores and analyzes the data. The instruments use superconducting technology and are widely used in physics, chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, and nanotechnology, and their results are frequently cited in scientific publications. The goal is to provide researchers worldwide with reliable, automated tools for measuring magnetic and physical properties, establishing itself as the standard reference for these measurements.
