AGILENT Technologies is developing a series of new ultra-high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers at 850MHz and 1GHz.
According to Agilent, the project will leverage its capabilities in magnet and probe design, electronic measurement and systems integration.
The resulting instrument would assist researchers working to understand the structure and dynamics of macromolecules.
Agilent has also entered into a comarketing agreement with Bridge12 Technologies which provides terahertz technology for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP).
DNP can significantly improve measurement sensitivity for solid-state samples. The co-marketing agreement enables the commercialization of DNP NMR systems, including Bridge12’s terahertz gyrotron and transmission line system.
Agilent says it is looking to establish itself as a leader in nuclear magnetic resonance. It is building an ultra-high-field demonstration facility at its Magnet Technology Centre in Yarnton, England.
