Benchtop NMR for
Process Analytical Technology
Highlights
understanding
Bringing a wealth of structural information and direct quantification to your lab, the Fourier PAT benchtop NMR reduces tedious calibrations and increase (bio)process understanding and control, hence further reducing risks and cost. The solution is enabled by the brand-new synTQ by Optimal NMR adapter, welcoming the Bruker Fourier 80 to the world of Process Analytical Technology.
Fourier PAT is the complete solution for online Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) monitoring and control of your process, with oversight of chemical reactions in real-time under real process conditions. Mastering the art of orchestration and thanks to more than 200 adapters in its portfolio, synTQ has the potential to interact with multiple systems in your lab: starting from your reactor, its sensors, moving to all components of the Fourier RxnLab, other analytical instrumentation (IR, Raman, etc.) and to data processing software… in an infinite loop of process optimization and control to provide a clear, faster, and safer way forward for your research.
The Fourier PAT finds natural applications to batch and flow chemistry processes for pharma, biochemical and chemical applications. It is the ideal solution to be considered in a digital lab/plant scenario and especially for late development and advanced manufacturing modalities like the Production On Demand concept.

Software
Seamless Software Integration
- NMR control: synTQ orchestrates the experiment through its NMR adapter and remote control of TopSpin
- Pump/thermostat control: synTQ regulates pump and thermostat through a dedicated adapter, with potential interaction with the NMR adapter for stop flow capability
- Data analysis: Data are visualized in synTQ, with possibility of live experiment optimization
- Expansion capabilities: synTQ interfaces with several platforms: reactors, sensors, other analytical devices and data processing software. This makes the Fourier PAT the ideal solution for a PAT start-up lab.
