At the Experimental NMR Conference (ENC), Bruker BioSpin announces the 950 US2 - the world's first actively-shielded 950MHz superconducting magnet
With the new 950 US2, Bruker BioSpin breaks its own previous world record for actively-shielded NMR magnets established two years ago with the introduction of the 900 US2.
The 950 US2 combines Bruker BioSpin's advanced, proprietary UltraShield activeshielding and UltraStabilized sub-cooling technologies.
The new 950 US2 magnet system delivers higher sensitivity and spectral dispersion, yet it has the same size cryostat and same cryogenic performance as the 900 US2.
The full line of Bruker BioSpin CryoProbes is compatible with this new 950 US2, enabling users to benefit from the increased sensitivity of the cryogenically cooled probes.
Remarkably, the 950 US2 features the same 5Gauss stray field as the 900 US2, making it very convenient to site due to its relatively small footprint.
The complete Avance II NMR system with the 950 US2 magnet occupies an overall footprint of less than 56m2, compared to the 335m2 feet of lab space that is required for an unshielded 950MHz magnet.
"We are very proud of our advanced UltraShield technology," commented Gerhard Roth, managing director of Bruker BioSpin's magnet division.
"The new 950 US2 will further improve ultra-high field NMR performance, with very reasonable siting costs and enhanced siting flexibility in labs with multiple NMR systems.
"Moreover, our 950 US2 features enhanced suppression of external field disturbances, further improving the stability and overall NMR performance in challenging environments".
Bruker BioSpin is now accepting orders for its new 950 US2 magnet, with a delivery time of four to eight months for the first orders.
The difference in price between the 950 US2 and the 900 US2 is an additional US$1.95million.
The Bruker BioSpin group designs, manufactures and distributes enabling life science and analytical research systems and solutions based on magnetic resonance core technology.
The company's technology platforms include NMR, EPR, MRI, as well as superconducting magnets and superconducting wire.
Bruker BioSpin's NMR division is the worldwide technology and market leader in NMR.
