Driving Solid State DNP-NMR Applications
Four novel 395 GHz Solid State DNP-NMR systems that utilize Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) in order to significantly enhance the sensitivity of solid state NMR experiments will soon be pushing forward key applications in research on biological solids, such as the important field of membrane proteins. Recently, solid state DNP-NMR has also been shown to be a unique tool in materials research, and even as a means to look at surfaces. Based on the proven, unique 263 GHz ... Continue reading

Vanderbilt University to Research New Imaging Applications at Ultra-High-Field
A new ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner for preclinical research will open new frontiers in molecular and microscopic imaging. Based on proven 15.0 Tesla shielded refrigerated USR™ magnet technology, already installed in several Bruker FT- mass spectrometry customer laboratories, this new MRI system takes advantage of the intrinsically high signal-to-noise ratio and enhanced contrast mechanisms at high fields. Leveraging the concurrent development of the first 15 Tesla MRI CryoProbe™ for high resolution neuroimaging, the BioSpec® 150/11 system will particularly enable new research ... Continue reading

Optimizing Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment with Metabolic Profiling
To help realize the vision of enhancing patient diagnostics and treatment, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim (NTNU) has partnered with Bruker, the world's leading provider of NMR spectroscopy instrumentation. NTNU and Bruker have signed a research collaboration agreement to jointly develop, optimize and implement NMR cancer diagnostics and prognostic modelling. One of the goals for the NTNU-Bruker collaboration is to develop products that will progress MR high-throughput screening towards a routine clinical setting. ... Continue reading
