Press Release Details

ASILOMAR, Calif., March 27, 2017/PRNewswire/ -- At the 58^th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference(www.enc-conference.org), Brukerannounced new software and hardware addressing the need for enhanced workflow solutions for NMR spectroscopy research and analysis. These solutions will benefit researchers in many disciplines of NMR, while providing productivity enhancements for pharmaceutical users.

Rainer Kuemmerle, Ph.D., NMR Product Manager for the Bruker BioSpin Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy division, explained: "We always have our customers in mind when developing new technologies and applications, and these latest NMR solutions exemplify this mindset. From academic, to pharma, and to chemical and advanced materials customers, we focus on making our customers successful by enhancing their productivity and expanding their range of NMR applications."

New Software

TopSpin 4^®is the next generation of Bruker'sNMR software for spectrometer control and data analysis, designed for the newly introducedAVANCE™ NEOplatform. The combination of a new user interface and capabilities to support multiple receivers and otherAVANCE NEOcapabilities, will makeTopSpin 4a very powerful and intuitive software for NMR spectroscopists. ExistingAVANCE III HDcustomers will also benefit from a newTopSpin 3.5version, as we continue enhancements and support for theAvance III HDplatform.

Designed to simplify and accelerate the setup of biomolecular NMR experiments, the newbioTop™module performs most biomolecular tasks in full automation. Only minimal user interaction is required for most experiments. The process starts after inserting the sample, taking care of shimming, locking and tuning if necessary. From experiment selections to final processed spectra, including optimization of commonly used parameters,bioTopcan be customized to accommodate much of the workflow in biomolecular NMR laboratories.

The newTopSolids™模块是一种直觉,workflow-based软件for solid-state NMR.TopSolidsis designed to give easy access to the delicate setup of probe hardware and complex solid-state NMR experiments, e.g. from structural biology on membrane proteins, to pharmaceuticalcomounds, to catalysis, battery research, polymer or material science work. For any customer who could benefit from solid-state NMR,TopSolids 2.0will be a great productivity tool, decreasing the time for setup and providing even more results, for novice and expert users.

Of particular interest to BioTech and Pharma customers are two novel solutions:

Bruker'snewPotencyMR™solution provides a cost-effective 'one-stop' NMR approach for determining the potency of drugs, including potency calculation, identification, residual solvent and water content in one single experiment. With a streamlined, easy-to-use, robust workflow from sample submission to report,PotencyMRis for experts and non-experts in pharmaceutical development, where quality, accuracy and reproducibility are required.

NMR Fragment-based Screening(FBS)in the pharmaceutical industry has become a widely applied method for the discovery and optimization of lead molecules in targeted screening campaigns. The newFBSworkflow solution is built intoTopSpin^®and streamlines FBS data handling and analysis, thus providing an easier way to screen compounds to find potential new drugs.

For NMR detection, Brukeris pleased to introduce the newiProbe™platform. This novel NMR probe architecture allows not only for an increase in signal to noise, and faster and more accurate rf tuning, but also provides a more flexible design that allows easier customization of NMR probes for dedicated applications. The first probes introduced on this platform include the industry-leadingSmartProbe iProbes, available now from 400-600 MHz, offering up to 10% increase in sensitivity.

TheInsightMR™portfolio of applications for monitoring chemical and biological processes is expanding further, in order to increase understanding of reaction mechanisms, chemical processes as well as cell metabolism.InsightXpress™now enhances the NMR monitoring of fast reactions and rapid, automated, screening of reactions conditions. For studies on living cells,InsightCell™now monitors living cells to study their biological activity through direct NMR measurements of variations in metabolite concentration.
