Bruker Corporation has launched the innovative Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ benchtop FT-NMR spectrometer, marking a significant advancement in permanent magnet-based FT-NMR technology. This new system is designed to meet the evolving needs of academic researchers and industry scientists by offering enhanced versatility in multinuclear analysis, making it an invaluable tool for a range of applications.
Next-Generation Capabilities
The Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ system stands out for its ability to observe 1H and decouple a wide range of nuclei, including one of 15 selectable X-nuclei. These nuclei can either be observed in X{1H} experiments or decoupled for proton observation in 1H{X} experiments. This advanced capability allows for a variety of X-nucleus observations, multiple 2D experiments, and highly sensitive inverse 1H observations for 13C, 19F, or 15N experiments.
Additionally, the system can observe 19F{1H} with proton decoupling, a feature highly valued by pharmaceutical researchers working with fluorinated drug candidates. For battery research, the Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ enables the observation of nuclei such as 7Li, 23Na, and 11B, making it a powerful tool for studying battery electrolytes and advancing next-generation battery technologies.
Unmatched Versatility
What sets the Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ apart is its ease of use and versatility. The system supports standard 5mm NMR samples and includes gradient spectroscopy, with options for adjustable sample temperature (AT) or sample changer automation. These capabilities provide users with a broad range of experimental options, all selectable via software, eliminating the need for manual probe tuning and matching.
User-Friendly Interface
The Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ system features an intuitive interface that allows both novice and experienced users to navigate measurements effortlessly. The system streamlines complex tasks and enhances productivity, making it suitable for various research applications, including pharmaceuticals, battery research, and materials science.
Industry Recognition and Future Impact
Agnes Haber, the Fourier 80 product manager at Bruker BioSpin, highlighted the system’s potential, stating, “The Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ represents a game-changing advancement in benchtop FT-NMR, with next-generation multinuclear capabilities addressing the demand for a versatile system for 1H-NMR, plus an unprecedented choice of 15 X-nuclei, with ease, and even under automation.” With several successful installations in customer labs, Bruker anticipates the Fourier 80 ‘Multi-Talent’ will become the new de facto standard in benchtop multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.
