FerroLoader Docking Kit for Thermo Fisher Helios DualBeam™ FIB-SEM

Product code: IAKTHFIHELIOSFL

A docking package that entirely replaces the ThermoFisher QuickLoaderTM to Ferrovac’s combined loader/docking system. When the UHVCTS is detached, a normal transfer arm can be mounted, providing the same functionality as the original QuickLoaderTM.

The FerroLoader is the best option if the end user wants to use the dock for both, attaching a UHVCTS and to load samples from air or via the Ferrovac Inert Gas Transfer Shuttle (IGTSFL) by means of a normal transfer arm.

Main features:

  • Direct loading of samples with same functionality as the original QuickLoader™
  • Docking of UHVCTS
  • Linear support sledge for UHVCTS
  • Valve controller and interface
  • Free inner diameter of transfer flanges: 38mm

Requires following additional parts (not provided by Ferrovac):

  • Cryo Interklock Kit 1099932 for the FIB Helios from Thermo Fisher
  • Compressed Air Line (4.5-7 bar) and Tubing (4mm push-to-connect) to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]
  • Nitrogen Gas Line (0.5-1 bar) and Tubing (6mm push-to-connect)
  • Electrical supply cable IEC 320 C8 to IEC socket of your specific country

Transfer Manipulator DN40 ISO-KF with Grabber Tool for Dove Tail Sample Holders

Product code: IAKMDKF40DOTSMD

In situations where the UHV (Ultra-High Vacuum) suitcase is not interfaced with the instrument, a supplementary transfer arm can be swiftly attached using a DN40 ISO-KF clamped flange. This setup facilitates direct sample loading into the instrument, effectively transforming the suitcase docking station into a load lock. Consequently, sample introduction from the atmosphere is streamlined.
