World’s first miniature NMR Spectrometer

Published: 29-Feb-2012

Breakthrough technology is affordable and easy to use for research, process, and academia

Chemists and academic leaders around the world recently received demonstrations of the picoSpin-45L benchtop NMR spectrometer from Cole-Parmer during a series of workshops and seminars.

The picoSpin-45L NMR spectrometer is a 2011 Edison Awards Winner for Best New Product and analyses liquid samples with 100ppb resolution or better. Only 20 microlitres of sample fluid is needed to obtain a spectrum. Its compact size and portability, weighing just 5kg, makes it a desirable unit for lab researchers.

Currently, academia relies primarily on paper NMR spectra data. Now, with an affordable option, students can gain real-time, hands-on experience.

‘As a biochemistry teacher, I want my students to get practical experience on NMR spectroscopy,’ said Dr Sangita Roy, HOD, Department of BioChemistry, Oxford College of Science, India.

‘This instrument and its software seem to be very useful for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. We appreciate the initiative taken by Cole-Parmer for an educational cause. With this instrument, students can now experience NMR hands-on in chemistry lab courses and in research projects.’

More UK workshops are planned for 2012. Contact Cole-Parmer to register your interest.
