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*
