This is our most sophisticated instrument.
This automated bridge is made for us by Measurements International of Canada. Isotech call it the T.T.I. 3. It is the solution to sub-millikelvin measurement problems. In co-operation with the National Research Council in Ottawa, this design has been tested and approved to the highest standards. Used in conjunction with two or more of our standard PRT's this bridge is capable of the most demanding measurements, differences of temperature of 1 or 2 microdegrees can be measured using our special measuring technique, available here Document
