The 8600 Series Vibrating Sample Magnetometer is a high-performance electromagnet-based system designed for precise magnetic characterization of materials, particularly low-moment samples and FORC analysis. It features three electromagnet models (8604, 8607, and 8610) with maximum field strengths of 2.76 T, 3.22 T, and 3.62 T, respectively, and offers a moment sensitivity of 15 nemu at 10 s/pt and a data acquisition rate of 10 ms/pt. The system supports a temperature range of 4.2 K to 1273 K through GlideLOCK™ cryostat, oven, and single-stage variable temperature options, with auto-detection and ergonomic sample rod exchange via QuickLIGN™. ExactGAP™ indexed pole positioning provides six repeatable gap settings, and field resolution reaches 1 mOe for 8604 and 8607 models. The system complies with CE directives for low voltage, EMC, and RoHS, and meets EN61010-1, EN61326-1, EN55011, and EN50581 standards. Total system cooling power ranges from 4250 W to 13400 W depending on the model.
The 8600 Series VSM raises the bar for magnetometer performance and convenience. These VSMs combine high sensitivity (15 nemu), rapid measurement speed (10 ms/pt), and simple operation for more accurate measurements, faster.
The entire 8600 Series system has been reimagined with a focus on clean, ergonomic design that simplifies the researcher’s interaction with the system. A motorized head brings the sample to a comfortable height for easy, one-handed exchange of the QuickLIGN™ sample rods. Temperature options include a cryostat, high-temperature oven, and single stage variable temperature insert. The combined temperature range of the options is 4.2 K to 1273 K. All three GlideLOCK™ options quickly slide into place and are auto-detected, with the software automatically displaying controls for the specific option. The magnet poles are also easily adjusted with the ExactGAP™ indexed positioning system that allows the pole gap to be set at one of six repeatable positions, eliminating the need to recalibrate after each change.
This VSM was created with first order reversal curve (FORC) measurement as a primary objective. FORC analysis is greatly enhanced by the high sensitivity of the 8600 Series VSM. FORC also benefits from increased data point density, and the new VSM flies through complex FORC data collection sequences in a fraction of the time required on previous systems.
