Magritek launch the Spinsolve ULTRA Benchtop NMR System for Measuring Sub Milli-Molar Components of Neat Mixtures in under 10 Minutes.

Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, announces the launch of the Spinsolve ULTRA Benchtop NMR system. The Spinsolve ULTRA has the field homogeneity of a superconducting NMR magnet (50% 0.2 Hz) in a compact and robust benchtop unit. When combined with solvent suppression it allows users to resolve compounds dissolved at sub-millimolar concentrations in protonated solvents, such as water.
