Magnetic Resonance Imaging Service—Bruker AV 500 MHz Spectrometer

Preclinical magnetic resonance imaging has greatly advanced all aspects of basic research, disease and therapeutic studies. Non-invasive in vivo imaging of small animals and rodents provides structural and functional information with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution. CD BioSciences offers a wide selection of instruments designed to perfectly meet the needs of scientists for research equipment.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Bruker AV 500 MHz Spectrometer

MANUFACTURER:

Bruker

Feature Highlights

Features of the AV 500 spectrometer include:
1. a three channel fully broadband console capable of triple resonance experiments
2. 11.74 Tesla Ultrashield Plus^™ magnet
3. Z-axis gradient amplifier and digital lock
4. an auto-tune and match (ATMA) broadband observe (BBFO) SmartProbe tunable to all frequencies between N-14 and P-31 as well as F-19 on the X-coil
5. a triple resonance TXI probe with dedicated H-1, C-13 and N-15 channels, typically used for the study of biological samples
6. a BBO probe with ATMA tunable between N-14 and P-31
7. ultrastable variable temperature control via a BCU-05 and BVT-3200 controller
8. a B-ACS 60^™ sample changer to allow unattended analysis of samples in automation

Summary

The Avance 500 spectrometer was installed in 2003. This high performance spectrometer operates by default in automation with a BBFO SmartProbe under ICON-NMR software control. Alternatively, researchers can reserve the spectrometer for more sohpisticated experiments, to study reactive samples, to perform variable temperature experiments, or to use the inverse probehead. The spectrometer is controlled by Bruker's TopSpin software (Version 2.1, patchlevel 8) .

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues. CD BioSciences offers a Bruker AV 500 MHz Spectrometer-based MRI service. Please contact us directly if you have a request.
