Very High Speed MAS

The 1.3 mm DVT MAS Probe

: Drive/Bearing mechanism of the 1.3 mm MAS

: 1H Alanine at increasing speed

The recent introduction of very fast spinning MAS systems has led to a multitude of new and fascinating experiments in solid state NMR, opening up a new world of spin manipulation. For the first time, typical rotation periods are actually shorter than cycle times in the NMR experiment.

Bruker BioSpin introduces a new MAS system to expand the range of spinning rates offered with our proven solids probes. The new 1.3 mm MAS system is capable of rotating at up to 70 kHz. (In addition a 1.8 mm MAS probe is available, offered through a collaboration with Ago Samoson, Estonia).

The 1.3 mm MAS system delivers:

Rotation frequencies of up to 70 kHz
Strong B1 fields
Easy handling
An ideal probe for methods development
