Bruker Corp., Billerica, Mass., introduces the Fourier 60, an entirely new permanent-magnet based, benchtop FT-NMR (Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectrometer. Combining safety, efficiency, usability, ergonomics, and performance, it is well suited for chemistry education at colleges and universities, as well as for industrial and applied markets. It is designed for easy sample introduction, and includes an option for automatic sample changes.
It offers best-in-class resolution, a built-in pressurized air supply, and an option for variable sample temperature control. Advanced, cryogen-free, permanent magnet technology results in a small footprint and low weight for standard lab benches. The Fourier 60’s sample temperature is stabilized to ± 0.1 °C and can range up to 65°C. The samples are effectively thermally isolated from the magnet temperature by a continuous temperature controlled air flow.
Both the TopSpin operating and integrated analysis software, and the industry-standard 5 mm NMR sample tube format, are fully compatible with superconducting NMR systems. This provides ease of use, and an easy transition for students to higher field instruments. Moreover, this ensures full compatibility between routine and research instruments in academic research and industrial settings, as NMR samples and data are fully compatible.
