Bruker BioSpin has successfully completed the installation of
the world’s first 1000 MHz ultra-high field NMR AVANCE™
spectrometer at the Centre de Resonance Magnétique Nucléaire à Très
Hauts Champs (CRMN) in Lyon, France (a joint research unit of CNRS,
Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and Université Lyon 1). The AVANCE
1000 system incorporates a record-breaking 23.5 Tesla
UltraStabilized™ superconducting magnet, and offers unparalleled
research opportunities, both to the CRMN and to other French and
European scientists who will access this unique facility. For the
entire community of thousands of scientists using modern NMR around
the world today, this represents a landmark moment.
The unique ultra-high resolution capabilities and sensitivity of
the AVANCE 1000 will enable breakthroughs in the study of crucial
problems at the frontier of science in areas as diverse as:
heterogeneous catalysis in the context of sustainable development;
structure and dynamics of proteins relevant to complex mechanisms
of disease; large scale population studies of metabolism to
understand lifestyle factors, notably nutrition, in relation to
diseases such as cancer.
Professor Lyndon Emsley, Professor of Chemistry at the Ecole
Normale Supérieure de Lyon, commented: “We have been very impressed
by the installation of the 1000 MHz system. The magnet was ramped
up to field quickly and demonstrates excellent homogeneity and
drift characteristics. Due to the great resolution and sensitivity
of the 1000 MHz CryoProbe™ and the availability of several
solid-state NMR probes with unmatched specifications, we are
already running experiments to demonstrate the potential of the
AVANCE 1000 across a wide range of applications, and we expect the
spectrometer to be open for business on a routine basis very soon.
A great ‘Christmas present’ for European science, which we are
proud to have been able to obtain here in France."
