Description
[0001] This application claims Paris Convention priority of DE 10 2011 006 165.7 filed Mar. 25, 2011 the complete disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention concerns a cooling device for cooling a test sample, comprising at least two cascade cooling stages, each comprising at least one coolant line, one compressor, one relief throttle, one evaporator and one liquefier.
[0003] Devices having such properties are e.g. the device NMR90 of the company Millrock Technology, Kingston, N.Y., USA, the device ULSP90 of the company ULSP by, Ede, NL and the device FTS XR Air Jet of the company RototecSpintec GmbH, Biebesheim, Germany.
[0004] Various analysis methods require cooling of the samples to be analyzed. In specific cases, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography, this is often achieved by introducing the sample into a cold gas flow (cooling gas), advantageously nitrogen or helium.
[0005] This cold gas f...
