MIAMI, Apr 16, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --At the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC) 2012, Bruker announces theBNL(Bruker Nitrogen Liquefier) accessory, available now for its提升(TM)NMRmagnet product line up to 700 MHz. NMR customers can now benefit from significantly extended cryogenic maintenance intervals for improved user convenience, increased flexibility for long-term experiments and lower cost of ownership. This latest innovation underscores Bruker's continued commitment to increasing sustainability. TheBNLalso offers a solution to customer concerns about limited availability or logistics for cryogens in certain emerging markets.
TheBNLcan be installed on one of the magnet's nitrogen ports enabling it to re-liquefy the nitrogen gas evaporating from the magnet dewar. The re-liquefaction process is essentially 100% efficient, ensuring near zero nitrogen boil-off forAscendmagnets up to 700 MHz. Operators of NMR equipment are freed from the weekly or bi-weekly routine of nitrogen filling, thus reducing cryogenic maintenance to helium refills only, which are typically spaced many months apart. TheBNLfeatures aCryostat Monitoring Unit (CMU)ensuring easy visual status monitoring, while Bruker'sMagnet Information and Control Software(MICS)provides an overview of nitrogen level, pressure and cryocooler temperature.
TheBNLdevelopment follows the success of theBSNL, the nitrogen reliquefaction accessory that has for several years enabledCryoProbe(TM)customers to use the extra cooling capacity of the latest generationCryoPlatform(TM)to re-condense the evaporating nitrogen gas from the magnet dewar . The newBNLis an add-on magnet accessory now offering the same benefits for systems withoutCryoProbes.
"We continuously explore new ideas to improve customer convenience and minimize cryogenic maintenance in NMR laboratories and we are thrilled that theBNLtechnology is now available for ourAscendmagnet series. TheBNLmaximizes user convenience, avoids interruptions of long experiments, and lowers operational costs, all without compromising NMR performance," commented Dr. Daniel Eckert, VP for Magnet R&D at Bruker BioSpin in Faellanden, Switzerland.
