Bruker BioSpin has successfully completed the installation of the world's first 1000 MHz ultra-high field NMR AVANCETM spectrometer at the Centre de Resonance Magnétique Nucléaire à Très Hauts Champs (CRMN) in Lyon, France (a joint research unit of CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and Université Lyon 1). The AVANCE 1000 system incorporates a record-breaking 23.5 Tesla UltraStabilizedTM superconducting magnet, and offers unparalleled research opportunities, both to the CRMN and to other French and European scientists who will access this unique facility. For the entire community of thousands of scientists using modern NMR around the world today, this represents a landmark moment.

Professor Lyndon Emsley, Professor of Chemistry at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, commented: "We have been very impressed by the installation of the 1000 MHz system. The magnet was ramped up to field quickly and demonstrates excellent homogeneity and drift characteristics. Due to the great resolution and sensitivity of the 1000 MHz CryoProbeTM and the availability of several solid-state NMR probes with unmatched specifications, we are already running experiments to demonstrate the potential of the AVANCE 1000 across a wide range of applications, and we expect the spectrometer to be open for business on a routine basis very soon. A great 'Christmas present' for European science, which we are proud to have been able to obtain here in France." |
