Personalised support for labs, universities and researchers
In April 2026, Benjamin Holmes presented on behalf of Allectra at the Einstein Telescope Vacuum and Cryogenics Industry Workshop at CERN, Geneva.
The presentation covered the real-world electrical connectivity challenges we tackled supplying ETpathfinder, the Einstein Telescope prototype with in-vacuum feedthroughs, UHV connectors, and Kapton cabling across hundreds of metres.
Download the highlights to see what it takes to get thousands of low-noise signals in and out of a UHV system, at cryogenic temperatures, at scale.
Join us at the NEVAC Day at VSL National Metrology Institute, Delft, on 5 June 2026 . It brings together researchers and industry professionals from across the Netherlands for a day of technical talks, laboratory tours, and the company exhibition. Meet Benjamin L. Holmes to discuss our UHV, SIMS, AFM, and deposition requirements.
We look forward to meeting researchers, engineers, students, and industry professionals, and hearing about your latest projects and challenges.
