Bruker Avance-III 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer equipped with BRUKER 5 mm BBFO 400 MHz Z-gradient high resolution probe

Description

State-of-the-art NMR spectrometer equipped with an observe broadband high resolution probe, fitted with an actively shielded single axis Z-gradient for 5 mm sample diameters and 400 MHz standard-bore or wide-bore magnets. The inner NMR coil can be tuned to observe ¹⁹F or any nucleus in the range from ³¹P to ¹⁵N. The outer NMR coil is tuned for either ¹H decoupling or observation. The probe is fitted with a ²H lock channel and automatic tuning and matching (ATM).

Signal/Noise

¹⁹F sensitivity  ≥250:1  (TFT sample, with 1H decoupling)

³¹P sensitivity  ≥140:1  (TPP sample)

¹³C sensitivity  ≥160:1  (ASTM sample)

¹⁵N sensitivity  ≥20:1  (90% formamide sample)

¹H sensitivity  ≥250:1  (0.1% EB sample, 2ppm noise)

Pulse Widths

¹⁹F pulse width  ≤15μs  (TFT sample)

³¹P pulse width  ≤15μs  (TPP sample)

¹³C pulse width  ≤10μs  (ASTM sample)

¹⁵N pulse width  ≤18μs  (90% formamide sample)

¹H pulse width  ≤15μs  (0.1% EB sample)

Lineshape

¹³C spinning lineshape  ≤0.2/2/4 Hz  (50%/0.55%/0.11%, ASTM)

¹H spinning lineshape  ≤0.6/6/12 Hz  (50%/0.55%/0.11%, 1% CHCl3)

Z-gradient

The probe is fitted with an actively shielded single axis Z-gradient.

Maximum gradient strength is 50 gauss/cm

Variable Temperature Range

Variable temperature range is from -150°C to +150°C*
