Solid-State DNP-NMR Spectrometer 263 GHz AVANCE™ III

Sensitivity Boost for Biomolecular NMR

DNP solids spectrometer

The world’s first commercially available solid-state DNP-NMR spectrometer.

Bruker BioSpin’s 263 GHz AVANCE DNP-NMR Spectrometer is the world’s first commercially available solid-state DNP-NMR system. The 263 GHz spectrometer enables extended DNP solid-state NMR experiments delivering unsurpassed sensitivity for exciting new applications.
 

Signal enhancements from 20 to a factor of 80 on multiple samples are possible and system optimization is ongoing for even higher DNP efficiency. The new high power gyrotron system, delivering microwaves at 263 GHz, is robust, safe and easy-to-use, enabling long term DNP experiments without time limits.

Experiments performed at a low temperature of ~100 K benefit from the innovative low-temperature MAS probe that enables sample polarization in-situ, directly at the NMR field.
