Varian has announced a suite of products to enhance the flexibility and automated use of its 400-MR Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) system.
The collection of tools comprises the OneNMR probe, a choice of two autosamplers and a customer-centric software package.
Designed with enhanced sample throughput and streamlined data management in mind, each piece can improve laboratory work flows on its own.
Implemented as a complete package, these products are used for routine chemical applications in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical and academic environments.
The 400MHz OneNMR probe combines the performance advantages of direct (carbon) and indirect (proton) detection in a single, multi-use probe.
The probe is available in two versions - one that can be tuned manually or automatically with Protune, and another that incorporates a third-generation piezoelectric (Protune-PZT) tuning module.
The probes also eliminate time-consuming probe changes.
The 7510-AS (12-sample) and 7600-AS (96-sample) autosamplers increase system efficiency by eliminating idle time between runs and enable users to extend the workday with unattended operation.
Both systems are designed to provide extended, maintenance-free operation.
The VnmrJ 3.0 software drives the system and is designed for multi-user, walk-up and high-throughput customers.
With its sample-centric data-management structure and intuitive user interface, the package allows queuing of multiple samples with the ability to interrupt operation in the case of priority samples.
