Abstract	The LUMINEU project aims at developing a pilot double beta decay experiment using scintillating bolometers based on ZnMoO $$_4$$ crystals enriched in $$^{100}\hbox {Mo}$$ . In the next months regular deliveries of large-mass $$\hbox {ZnMoO}_4$$ crystals are expected from the Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry (Novosibirsk, Russia). It is therefore crucial for the LUMINEU program to test systematically and in real time these samples in terms of bolometric properties, light yield and internal radioactive contamination. In this paper we describe an aboveground cryogenic facility based on a dilution refrigerator coupled to a pulse-tube cooler capable performing these measurements. A 23.8 g $$\hbox {ZnMoO}_4$$ crystal was fully characterised in this setup. We show also that macro-bolometers can be operated with high signal-to-noise ratio in liquid-free dilution refrigerators.
