This first-of-a-kind ultra-high field magnet and spectrometer pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the field of NMR research and opens a new chapter of ultra-high field NMR with even higher dispersion and resolution.\nThis press release features multimedia.

The first-of-a-kind superconducting and persistent standard-bore NMR magnet has a field strength of 30.5 Tesla (T) and incorporates a novel ReBCO high-temperature superconductor (HTS) insert, generating even higher magnetic fields. The novel 1.3 GHz magnet extends Bruker’s innovative LTS-HTS hybrid magnet architecture. Despite higher field, the 1.3 GHz magnet maintains the same physical dimensions and cryogen consumption as Bruker’s 1.2 GHz magnets, with a slightly increased stray field radius.\n\nApplications testing at 1.3 GHz proton frequency was conducted using five different NMR probe configurations: a 3 mm TXI liquids room-temperature probe, a 5 mm TXO liquids CryoProbe, a 111 kHz (0.7 mm) HCN solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) probe, a 42 kHz (1.9 mm) solid-state MAS probe optimized for materials research, and the new ultra-fast spinning 160 kHz (0.4 mm) HCN solid-state MAS probe, the latest innovations in solid-state NMR for the study of biological systems. These tests confirmed the applicability of the 1.3 GHz NMR first-of-a-kind spectrometer, yielding high-resolution liquids and solids NMR spectra at 1.3 GHz. The...
