Bruker has been at the forefront of NMR innovation for decades, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field. Our unique hybrid technology combines high-temperature and low-temperature superconductors to achieve magnetic flux densities previously thought unattainable. This commitment to excellence has established Bruker as the leader in ultra-high field NMR, providing scientists with the tools they need to make groundbreaking discoveries.
Bruker's 1.3 GHz NMR spectrometer sets a new world record in high-resolution NMR, offering unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. This innovative instrument operates at a field strength of
30.55 Tesla, made possible by our HTS/LTS hybrid technology. The magnet features a 54 mm room-temperature bore, compatible with Bruker’s BOSS3 room temperature shim system, ensuring stable and continuous operation.
The first-of-a-kind 1.3 GHz NMR magnet capitalizes on Bruker’s well proven HTS/LTS hybrid technology.
The 1.3 GHz magnet maintains the same physical dimensions and cryogen consumption as Bruker’s
1.2 GHz magnets, with only a slightly increased stray field radius. Achieving 1.3 GHz in such a compact form-factor was made possible by the qualification of a high-temperature superconductor with a new architecture, enabling higher current densities. This groundbreaking achievement in superconducting magnet technology ensures stable and continuous operation, providing researchers with reliable and high-performance tools.
Tests conducted using five different NMR probes have verified the practical applicability of the
1.3 GHz spectrometer with representative samples. These probes include a 3 mm TXI Probe, a 5 mm TXO CryoProbe, a 0.7 mm HCN Solid-State CPMAS Probe, a 0.4 mm HCN Solid-State CPMAS Probe, and a
1.9 mm MAS Probe optimized for low-gamma detection. The results demonstrated increased resolution and sensitivity, highlighting the potential for groundbreaking research in various fields, from structural biology to materials science.
