Bruker BioSpin introduces the QNP CryoProbe, for multipurpose NMR measurements of four different nuclei - phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen
This unique 5mm, general-purpose, cryogenically cooled probe is automated to easily switch between these nuclei, eliminating the need to change probes.
Phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen are present individually or together in a majority of organic, biological and inorganic compounds.
The direct observation of these nuclei can provide quantitative information in addition to small molecule structural data.
The most significant advantage of this new probe is that it enables more complete characterization of molecules that contain all four of these nuclei.
The new QNP CryoProbe is available for Bruker BioSpin Avance II 400, 500 and 600MHz systems, increasing the utility of NMR in both organic and inorganic laboratories.
CryoProbes improve the signal-to-noise ratio by three to four times, as compared to non-cryogenically cooled probes.
As a result, they are capable of measuring lower concentrations and enable experiments to be completed as much as 16 times faster.
While traditional CryoProbes are aimed at biological research, this new QNP CryoProbe is ideal for applications in organic and inorganic chemistry.
"There is no other probe on the market that offers this degree of flexibility, sensitivity and speed," explains Oskar Schett, managing director of Bruker BioSpin.
"This new QNP CryoProbe offers the advantages of CryoProbe technology to all researchers in organic and inorganic chemistry."
