kiutra - Next-generation Cryogenics | Cryogen-free Magnetic Refrigeration for Science and Industry

We are kiutra

About Us

kiutra builds easy-access turn-key refrigeration solutions tailored to the needs of each individual customer. Our all-electrical cooling devices combine magnetic refrigeration and closed-cycle precooling to provide cryogenic temperatures cryogen-free and conveniently.

Cryogenic temperatures are a key prerequisite for research, development, and many industrial applications.

The Physics Department at the Technical University of Munich has a long tradition in developing novel methods and devices for providing these low temperatures. kiutra is a TUM spin-off launched at the Chair for the Topology of Correlated Systems. Our team brings in more than 50 years of applied low-temperature physics and cryo-engineering.

kiutra is funded by “EXIST Transfer of Research”, a program of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy which supports excellent, research-based Startups.
