Allectra Notes for High Vacuum and UHV practice
Here we explore some norms, rules and protocols for High Vacuum and UHV practice.
Allectra manufactures a custom flange for Spacetek Technology Spectrometer
Providing exceptional performance while keeping an attractive form factor and a high ease of maintenance, meant a simple assembly was required to mount the complete mass analyzer on a DN100 CF Flange.
Our custom components supplied to the Giano-B Spectrograph
Allectra’s custom components including custom tubes, valves and various accessories supplied to the Giano-B Spectrograph in the Canary Islands.
Allectra has supplied components for the BEaTriX pathfinder facility
Gate valves and electrical feedthroughs supplied for the BEaTriX vacuum system. The vacuum system is designed with modular compartments.
Allectra’s vacuum chamber used in the OXiNEMS project
New hybrid sensors are expected to overcome the limitations of magnetometers in magnetoencephalographic systems.
Allectra’s components assist testing in space environments
Allectra has provided custom flanges and cables for AstroBio CubeSat (ABCS), a 3U Cubesat hosting a mini laboratory payload based on innovative lab-on chip technology.
NEW HIRE FOR ALLECTRA LIMITED UK SALES
We are delighted that Fiona Rousseau has joined UK internal sales with responsibility for providing our customers with technical information and responding to customer enquiries.
Understanding Coaxial feedthroughs
Coaxial means simply that two conductors share a common axis. In a coax feedthrough the inner conductor is for a (typically small) signal and the outer conductor is connected to ground and works as a shield of that signal against electro-static interference.
Allectra supplies components for LSPE SWIPE and STRIP instruments
Allectra has supplied components and cables for the Large-Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) SWIPE and STRIP instruments.
Live webinar – ‘The Sterile Neutrino Puzzle’ ICARUS at Fermilab
We are delighted to host Dr Gian Luca Raselli, INFN, Sezione di Pavia, in a live webinar at MEDSI, the virtual event, on Wednesday 28th July at 3.30pm BST. Dr Raselli will be discussing the “Sterile Neutrino Puzzle” and its search at FNAL in the SBN program.

Allectra in light science
For an increasing number of High Vacuum and UHV applications, Optical Fibres are used either to get signals out or to bring “light” to the right point into the chamber.
Allectra components for Surface Science Applications
Modern technologies increasingly rely on low-dimensional physics at interfaces and in thin-films and nano-structures. Surface Science holds a key position in providing the experimental and theoretical models for a basic understanding of these effects.
Two new hires for Allectra GmbH
Allectra GmbH has recently hired two new colleagues to strengthen the Berlin team.
How we are investing to give you the best service
