Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM)

The Louisiana State University is seeking to procure a high-sensitivity Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) system to support the characterization of magnetic materials. The system must be delivered as a complete turnkey VSM system, including all required hardware, control electronics, and software necessary for full system operation. The system must meet specific magnetic field and magnetic moment measurement specifications, and must be capable of automated measurement sequences and data export. The supplier must provide certified magnetic reference standards for calibration, and must demonstrate instrument performance using the reference standard during acceptance testing. The supplier must also provide on-site installation and user training. Some key features of the required VSM system include: • Maximum magnetic field: ±2.0 Tesla minimum • Field resolution: ≤0.1 mT • Field accuracy: ±1% of reading or better • Magnetic moment measurement range: 10⁻6 to ≥100 emu • Magnetic moment sensitivity: ≤1.5×10⁻8 emu • Measurement accuracy: ±1% or better • Measurement repeatability: ±0.5% or better • Automated data acquisition and control • User-friendly graphical interface • Data export capability (CSV, Excel, MATLAB, Origin compatible)
