The Bruker BioSpec 9.4T MRI is a high-performance multi-nuclear system for non-invasive high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy in preclinical, preserved sample, plant and materials research.
A range of volume, surface and phased array imaging coils are available to accommodate specific preclinical needs, in addition to planar surface coils for materials applications.
Three sizes and strengths of imaging gradients are available to best tailor the imaging capabilities to the diverse and individual needs of both preclinical and materials researchers.
This instrument has the latest generation of parallel receive and transmit hardware to decrease experiment time without compromising image resolution or contrast.
