Quantum Design is pleased to announce the acquisition of the NanoScience Division of Oxford Instruments, now operating as Quantum Design Oxford in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The acquisition brings together leading cryogenic systems, combining QD’s physical property measurement systems with ultra-low-temperature cryogenics instrumentation.
This acquisition unites two industry leaders with a combined legacy of more than 100 years of experience and innovation in cryogenics, materials science, and microscopy. The shared product catalogue provides proven solutions: automated materials characterisation with automated field and temperature control, ultra-low temperature sub-kelvin cryostats and dilution refrigerators, high-field superconducting magnets, a full range of optical cryostats, and a global sales and customer support system that is rated as one of the best in the world.
“We are thrilled to become part of the Quantum Design team,” said Mathew Martin, Managing Director of the new Quantum Design Oxford. “We have a long history of the development and manufacture of low-temperature cryostats, sub-kelvin dilution refrigerators and high-field superconducting magnets. QD’s extensive global office network will provide us and our customers with the support they deserve, so that they can concentrate more fully on their research. The combination of the Oxford NanoScience and QD’s product lines enables the company to offer a more complete package of products to suit our many customers’ needs.”
Oxford NanoScience was the original, founding division of Oxford Instruments. Its research and manufacture of sub-kelvin cryostats and large-field magnets made it a driving force in the world of physics research. Their wide range of dilution refrigerators allows them, and now Quantum Design, to offer the tools and environments needed for a new world of quantum information and science.
