Buyers guides

Ablation target preparation and testing

  • Applied Test Systems - high-end materials testing and furnaces
  • Futek - Load cells and other sensors
  • MTI Corporation - relatively inexpensive materials science research supplies (furnaces, temp. controllers, crucibles, gloveboxes, benchtop presses, diamond blade saws, ball mills, nanopowders...); equipment seems generally reliable, but technical support is of little help.
  • Renco Corporation - sells glovebox gloves
  • Thermo Scientific - general lab supplies, including furnaces

Radiation equipment

  • For radiation inspection, non-emergency cleanup, and radiation labels and waste bins, contact Ken Walker at first_last@harvard.edu.
  • Atlantic Nuclear - radiation safety: shielding, radiation meters, dosimetry
  • Ludlum Measurements - exhaustive assortment of survey meters
  • Canberra - radiation measurement and safety supplies, including radioisotope samples

Chemicals and materials

Ceramics

Metals

Hardware

  • McMaster
  • MSC - When McMaster just won't do
  • RAM mounts - Mounts for scopes and other instruments.
  • Vlier - Screws with Springs inside and more.
  • Air Incorporated - 80/20 supplier. Phone: 800-341-2800. Best to have the cut numbers and location codes (from an 80/20 catalog) ready for any anchor fastener counterboring, etc., before you call.
  • Amazing Magnets - Permanent magnets
  • K&J Magnetics - Large selection of rare-earth magnets.

Optics

Essentials

Specialty

Laser Diodes

PMT

Hamamatsu PMT contact Rich at (908) 252-7728 Fax: (732) 537-3678

Electronics

Sensors

  • Micromagnetics Magnetoresistance-based B-field sensors
  • Honeywell Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) magnetic sensors. Noise is < 1 uG/rt-Hz @ 10 Hz. ~20$ each.

Vacuum

Essentials

Specialty

Cryogenics

Gases and Flow Control

  • MKS Instruments - Flow controllers.
  • Laminar Technologies - Sells used MKS flow controllers. The Harvard cleanroom manager (Noah Clay) claims that used flow controllers are better (since they are screened for infant death), and of course they are cheaper.

Quasi-Optical, Microwaves

mm-wave Microwave Components

  • Quinstar - Large selection of waveguide and coax, ask for Sage Kuno
  • Miteq - Largest supplier (and stock) but more expensive

Optical detectors, PMTs

Coatings, deposition

Electroplating

Diamond-Turned Optics

Heavy Duty Actuators and Motion Control

Vibration Isolation

Waterjet

Computers and Computer Hardware

  • Dell Configure computer on Dell's website, print the configuration as a PDF, make a PO, and email the PO and the configuration to Andy Meyer: first_last@dell.com
  • Lenovo Direct Select "Personal" under Lenovo, configure a computer, print the configuration as a PDF, make a PO, and mail to Aaron Zabel: flast@lenovo.com
  • NewEgg Computer accessories. WARNING: they do not accept POs.

Office Supplies

Office Depot Fax 800-685-5010


Food, etc
