Bruker BioSpin Announces the World's Highest Field Actively-Shielded NMR Magnet at 950 MHz.


PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. -- At the Experimental NMR NMR: see magnetic resonance.  Conference (ENC ENC Encoded (File Name Extension)

), Bruker BioSpin Corporation announces the 950 US2 - the world's first actively-shielded 950 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc.  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(TM) active-shielding and UltraStabilized(TM) sub-cooling technologies. The new 950 US2 magnet system delivers higher sensitivity and spectral dispersion, yet it has the same size cryostat cryostat /cryo·stat/ (kri´o-stat)

 and same cryogenic performance as the 900 US2. The full line of Bruker BioSpin CryoProbes(TM) 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 5 Gauss 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 600 square feet, compared to the 3,600 square feet of lab space that is required for an unshielded Adj. 1. unshielded - (used especially of machinery) not protected by a shield

"We are very proud of our advanced UltraShield technology," commented Dr. 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$ 1.95 million.
