We present construction details and performance measurements of a ''dry'' dilution refrigerator which is precooled by a pulse-tube refrigerator; no cryo-liquids are required to operate this cryostat. The dilution refrigerator is equipped with a double mixing chamber and reaches a lowest temperature of 4.3 mK. The 3 He throughput of the refrigerator was between 100 and 300 μmol/s. The total heat leak into the mixing chamber was determined to be 75 nW. For thermometry we had a 3 He melting-curve thermometer at our disposal. Ease of operation and reliability are the characteristics of this type of cryostat.
