Bruker AVIII-850

In addition to its primary liquids capability, the AV-III-850 is equipped with static and MAS solid state NMR probes. In solids mode, the AV-III-850 allows high sensitivity and high resolution observation of many quadrupolar nuclei, making it especially useful for MQMAS and QCPMG experiments.

Finally, the AV-III-850 is equipped with high power amplifiers and high power triple axis pulsed field gradients for imaging and translational diffusion measurements. Ultra-high gradient strengths enable truly unique high-resolution imaging capabilities.

The instrument is able to run experiments using Non Uniform Sampling (NUS) that removes the time barrier for high-resolution multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. It is especially useful for multi-dimensional experiments in biomolecular NMR, where time savings up to a factor of 4x in 3D experiments or 10x and even more in 4D experiments can be achieved.
