picoSpin 45/80 MHz
The picoSpin systems come with a 45 or 80 MHz proton (1H) NMR spectrometer. Liquid samples are simply injected into an internal capillary via front-panel fittings. Only 30 microliters of sample fluid is needed to obtain a spectrum. A highly stable, temperature-controlled permanent magnet to ensure easy maintenance-free operation without the need for liquid cryogens.
