Bruker announces an order valued at over $7.5 million from the
University of Minnesota for its new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR) laboratory, including ultra-high field Avance™ III 900
and Avance™ III 850 NMR spectrometers. The systems will be
installed in the newly constructed and greatly expanded NMR
Facility at the University of Minnesota.

This purchase will form the core of the systems in the NMR
Facility for use in a wide range of research at the University of
Minnesota, including structure determination of proteins and
nucleic acids related to cancer, heart failure, infectious disease,
muscular dystrophy, aging, neurodegeneration, and metabolomics.
The Avance™ III 900 system is based on Bruker’s
successful 900 MHz (21.2 Tesla) actively-shielded
US2 magnet, one of the highest magnetic fields for
NMR applications. The 900 MHz US2 magnet combines
Bruker’s proven proprietary UltraShield™ active-shielding
and UltraStabilized™ sub-cooling technologies. The result is
the most reliable 900 MHz magnet for NMR applications. The
Avance™ III 850 spectrometer is based on Bruker’s new 850
MHz Ascend™ magnet that combines the key advantages of
Bruker’s well-established UltraShield™ Plus magnets with
advanced superconductor technology resulting in significant
reductions in magnetic stray fields and in the size of the
cryostat. With over 170 ultra-high field installations worldwide,
Bruker has an unmatched track record in NMR magnet technology.
“This purchase demonstrates the University of Minnesota’s
commitment to excellence in research,” said Prof. David Thomas, NMR
Facility Director. “Specifically, these new Bruker instruments will
enhance this University’s position as a world leader in the
advancement of biomedical research using magnetic resonance.”
