[{"type":"text","content":"\nETH Zürich Accepts Bruker 1.2 GHz NMR Spectrometer\n\n BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nBruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the successful installation and customer acceptance of the Avance™ NEO 1.2 GHz NMR system at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences of the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich (www.ethz.ch) in Switzerland. Following the acceptance of the world's first 1.2 GHz NMR at the CERM (www.cerm.unifi.it) of the University of Florence earlier this year, this marks the second customer installation of a 1.2 GHz NMR in the world.\nThis press release features multimedia.

The 1.2 GHz spectrometer will also be used as a basis for further improving NMR methodology towards in-cell structural biology, and to investigate solid catalysts and functional materials, e. g. for energy conversion and data storage.\n\n\nProfessors Beat Meier, Matthias Ernst and Alexander Barnes at ETH stated: “We are very excited to have the world’s first 1.2 GHz solid-state NMR spectrometer successfully installed in our lab. The system was delivered just a couple of months ago and the installation and energizing of the NMR magnet went exceptionally well. The completion of the installation marks the culmination of a project that we started with Bruker almost a decade ago. We are very much looking forward to starting our first ultra-high field solid-state NMR experiments.”\n\n\nDr. Falko Busse, Bruker BioSpin's Group President, commented: \"I am very grateful for the confidence and the trust our partners at ETH have placed in Bruker, and for the outstanding support they gave to our engineers during the installation of the 1.2 GHz NMR. The second successful customer installation of a 1.2 GHz NMR is a testament to the success of our newly developed Ultra-High-Field (UHF) NMR technology. The production of additional UHF systems is well under...
