About STAR Cryoelectronics
STAR Cryoelectronics was founded in April 1999 by Dr. Robin Cantor in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The company was organized as a limited liability company under New Mexico law and remains headquartered in Santa Fe, served by the Santa Fe Municipal Airport and Albuquerque International Sunport. The company develops, manufactures, and markets a range of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors based on low-temperature (LTS) and high-temperature (HTS) superconductors, along with PC-based SQUID control electronics sold under the pcSQUID™ brand. It also produces transition-edge sensor (TES) and superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) X-ray detectors, cryogen-free adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) cryostats, and X-ray spectroscopy systems for scanning electron microscopes and synchrotron beamlines. In addition, STAR Cryoelectronics operates a custom foundry for superconducting thin-film device design, fabrication, packaging, and test, and supplies cryogenic cable assemblies and accessories. The firm is the exclusive manufacturer of the Mr. SQUID® educational demonstration system, which has been sold to over 400 universities worldwide since 1992. STAR Cryoelectronics serves customers in biomedical imaging, non-destructive testing, geophysical exploration, basic research, and education. Its detectors and spectrometers are used for X-ray microanalysis in scanning electron microscopes and for soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy at synchrotron facilities. The company also acts as the North American representative for ceraco ceramic coating GmbH, a supplier of high-temperature superconducting thin films. The company emphasizes that its pcSQUID electronics have been an industry standard for nearly two decades, offering low current noise and flexible multi-channel operation. Its STJ spectrometer earned a 2014 R&D 100 Award, and it claims the lowest current noise LTS SQUIDs commercially available. Custom foundry services and open-architecture control software are cited as key differentiators.
