NMR INSTRUMENTS-Ascend NMR Magnets 

Bruker has specialized in the design and production of magnets and cryogenic systems for several decades,

becoming the world's largest manufacturer of superconducting magnets for NMR.

Our Ascend line of magnets combines several of Bruker’s proprietary, innovative magnet technologies for best performance and cost efficiency.

  • Highlights

300 MHz – 1.2 GHz

The Ascend line of superconducting magnets range from 300 MHz up to the world-record breaking 1.2 GHz.

  • Easy Siting

The Ascend magnet design features advanced superconductor technology, enabling the design of smaller magnet coils, thus resulting in a significant reduction in physical size and weight.

  • Stability & Shielding

Unique jointing technology leads to the lowest drift rates for outstanding field stability plus the External Disturbance Suppression (EDS) provides up to 99% screening efficiency against external magnetic field disturbances.

Features

Incorporating Key Technologies for Best Performance and Cost Efficiency

The Ascend™ series of compact NMR magnets makes medium and high-field NMR spectroscopy extremely powerful, and at the same time reliable and convenient. Ascend magnets combine several of Bruker’s proprietary, innovative magnet technologies for superior performance and operational cost savings.
The Ascend magnet design features advanced superconductor technology, enabling the design of smaller magnet coils, thus resulting in a significant reduction in physical size and magnetic stray fields. The Ascend magnets are therefore easy to site, as well as convenient and economical to operate.

 Maximum Performance

 Unique jointing technology leading to the lowest drift rates for outstanding field stability

Advanced shimming technology for highest field homogeneity

External Disturbance Suppression (EDS) with up to 99% screening efficiency against external magnetic field disturbances

Cryostats with excellent thermal efficiency for low cryogen consumption

Available with high-performance vibration isolators

Minimum Stray Fields

 Easy siting with less preparation costs

Easy magnet access and rigging due to smaller size and weight

Reduced physical and magnetic footprint in the lab

Reduced ceiling height requirements

Ascend magnets are optimized for operation with Bruker’s room temperature shim systems, Bruker NMR probes, automation technology and refrigeration equipment, e.g. for integrated high-performance NMR systems used in structural biology, small molecule and/or materials research applications.

 

Bruker’s Ascend magnets also come in two sizes of standard-bore equaling 54 mm in diameter, and wide-bore which is 89 mm in diameter.

NEW Ascend Evo 1.0 GHz NMR Magnet

Novel Single-Story Compact NMR with Reduced Helium Consumption

 

The Ascend Evo 1.0 GHz NMR system offers a unique compact magnet that significantly reduces footprint, weight, and ceiling height requirements, as well as provides a dramatic threefold reduction in liquid helium consumption. This novel and unique design also significantly reduces siting, installation, and operational costs making it more accessible to more labs.

Benefits

The availability of cutting-edge superconducting wire technology makes it possible to achieve magnetic fields of up to 1.2 GHz. Advanced superconductors also make it possible to design NMR magnets that are extremely compact, which, in combination with the minimization of the stray field by active shielding, is a key benefit when NMR systems need to be placed in space-restricted laboratories.

 Bruker’s Electromagnetic Disturbance Suppression (EDS) provides excellent screening efficiency against external magnetic field disturbances, which is ideal when an NMR spectrometer needs to be sited in a challenging environment. Bruker’s proprietary jointing technology for high-current and high-field joints guarantee the lowest drift rates.
