A


gilent Technologies is developing a series of new ultra-high-field nuclear


magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers at 850 MHz and 1GHz (Fig. 1).


“Agilent Technologies is committed to working closely with our customers and partners to develop next-generation NMR technology,” said Nick Roelofs, president of


the company’s life sciences group. “Te gigahertz project will leverage the company’s full capabilities in magnet and probe design, electronic measurement and systems integration to deliver world class performance for researchers working to understand the structure and dynamics of macromolecules.”


As part of its strategy to expand NMR applications, Agilent has


also entered into a co-marketing agreement with Bridge12 Technologies. Bridge12 is a provider of terahertz technology, a critical component for an emerging application known as dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP). DNP can significantly improve measurement sensitivity for solid-state samples. Te co- marketing agreement enables the commercialisation of DNP NMR


Fig. 1. The new spectrometers will join Agilent’s 800 MHz version which is currently the largest standard model on offer.
