Bruker Expands Ascend™ NMR Magnet Series for Higher Performance, Easier Siting and More Economic Operation

At the 52nd ENC, Bruker announced the extension of its
Ascend™ series of higher performance and even more compact
NMR magnets, now covering a range from 400 MHz to 850 MHz. The
Ascend magnet product line builds on the key advantages of
Bruker’s well-established UltraShield™ Plus magnets, with
further innovations for superior performance and greater
convenience. Ascend magnets feature advanced superconductors
and proprietary magnet technology which together enable the design
of smaller, lighter magnet coils, resulting in a further
significant reduction in physical size, weight, magnetic stray
field, drift and cryogen consumption. Ascend magnets are
therefore even easier to site, even safer to run and less expensive
to operate.

Bruker’s unique and further improved External Disturbance
Suppression (EDS) technology provides outstanding suppression of
external magnetic field disturbances, making Ascend magnets
ideal for challenging urban environments and space-restricted
laboratories. In addition, Bruker’s proprietary superconducting
joint technology yields improved drift behavior with now only 10
parts per billion (ppb) drift per hour. The previous generation of
magnets had 50% higher drift specifications. These new lowest drift
rates translate into the best overall magnetic field stability
which is very important for demanding NMR experiments.
With their reduced physical size and weight, the new
Ascend magnets make important contributions to environmental
sustainability and reduce operational costs due significant
reductions in Ascend Helium consumption of up to 50%,
compared to previous generations of Bruker magnets.
Ascend magnets are compatible with new and recent Bruker
NMR probes, spectrometers, automation technology and software, for
integrated high performance NMR systems used in structural biology,
small molecule and materials research applications. Access for
submitting NMR samples has just become much easier, using the
optional new SampleCase™, the first NMR automation solution
that provides easy, safe and convenient sample insertion at user
height, and is wheel-chair accessible.
“Built on the proven reliability, performance and wealth of
experience gained from thousands of UltraShield magnet
installations worldwide, the Ascend magnet series is
designed with unique additional protective features for both magnet
and user safety,” commented Dr. Rene Jeker, Managing Director of
Bruker BioSpin in Faellanden, Switzerland. “We are excited that all
the latest Bruker NMR magnet technologies have now been
incorporated into one new magnet series, resulting in unsurpassed
performance, convenience, reliability and minimum operational
costs.”
