Business Wire
Bruker BioSpin announced today that it will launch two new,
unique and ground-breaking Ultra-High Field (UHF) NMR magnets on
Sunday, March 29th, 2009 at the Experimental NMR Conference
(ENC):
- the world�s highest field,
actively shielded wide bore 89 mm NMR magnet 900 MHz WB US�,
and
- the world�s highest field,
actively shield standard bore 54 mm, compact single story NMR
magnet 850 MHz US Plus�.
Combined with Bruker BioSpin�s AVANCE� III spectrometer, both of
these innovative magnets deliver unsurpassed sensitivity and
resolution enabling new research applications in structural biology
research, membrane protein structure determination and a growing
number of materials research applications.
The two-story 900 MHz WB US� NMR magnet expands the range
of available shielded UHF wide bore magnets from our previous 850
MHz system now to an unprecedented 900�MHz product. It combines
Bruker BioSpin's proprietary UltraStabilized� and UltraShield�
technologies, delivering a UHF magnet with the well-known benefits
of unmatched stability and active-shielding technology. The
increase in sensitivity and resolution provided by the 900 US� wide
bore (89 mm) NMR magnet will enable new applications for solid
state NMR studies of membrane proteins and of low-? nuclei in the
field of material science, as well as various UHF micro-imaging
applications.
The compact 850 MHz US Plus� actively-shielded magnet can
be placed in a single story lab, thus significantly lowering
the barriers for researchers to operate at this UHF strength. The
very compact size and its small stray field significantly improves
siting flexibility and dramatically reduces site preparation costs.
The 850 MHz US Plus� standard-bore (54mm) magnet benefits
from both Bruker BioSpin�s proprietary UltraStabilized� and
UltraShield�-Plus active shielding technology, for improved
protection against external perturbations and with outstanding
stability and high-resolution NMR performance.
Both new magnets exploit the proven reliability and performance
of our installed base of over 150 UHF Bruker magnets at 750-950 MHz
worldwide. This exceptional and proven track record is only
achievable due to a combination of Bruker�s proprietary sub-cooling
technology and the latest in superconductor wire technologies. This
combination results in the most compact coil designs, the highest
built-in safety margins, the lowest drift magnets, safe operation
and robust, high quality production capabilities.
�It is exciting to observe that continuing progress in wire
technology and design allow us to increase the highest available
NMR frequencies for any given magnet type, and at the same time we
can reduce the size of our magnets,� commented Dr. Gerhard Roth,
Managing Director of Bruker BioSpin. �Both new magnet types have
been designed, manufactured and successfully energized at our
factory to full field with excellent homogeneity and minimal drift.
We trust that researchers all over the world will benefit from
these latest advancements.�
