Minimizing RF Heating
RF sample heating results from the interaction between the electric field and the sample. In the case of wet and salty samples (such as for biological samples) the use of high amplitude proton decoupling can lead to excessive sample heating. This situation can be alleviated by reducing the E-field at the location of the sample. A low inductance proton RF coil can achieve this. Bruker BioSpin’s Efree probes employ the combination of a low inductance proton coil with a high efficiency solenoid for observe frequencies, yielding a probe with:
 

  • Minimal RF Heating
  • Uncompromised RF performance on proton
  • Uncompromised performance on observe channels
  • Excellent B1-homogeneity on all channels
  • Outstanding tuning stability
     

Built for your Applications
Efree probes are available for static as well as MAS applications. Crystalline proteins achieve a very high resolution in magic angle spinning probes while proteins aligned in bicelles or oriented membranes are measured in the static probes.
