Agilent Technologies is to supply nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems to the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland.
The instruments will form the core of the new Nanobiomedical Centre, a multidisciplinary unit supporting masters and doctoral research programmes in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The company will supply several NMR systems at 400MHz, 600MHz and 800MHz.
In addition, the centre will be acquiring an Agilent 9.4 Tesla MRI system.
Each of these systems will be equipped with the new Direct Drive 2 console, configured as a single platform to support a suite of applications for both NMR and MRI.
The 9.4 Tesla ultra-high-field MRI magnet is claimed to enable greater resolution and sensitivity for the in-vivo visualisation of biological structures and processes.
