NMReady - 60 MHz bench-top NMR spectrometer

contributed by Jackie Metropolit (Nanalysis Corp., Calgary, Alberta)

Nanalysis Corp. a Calgary based company has recently launched a 60MHz bench-top NMR spectrometer called the NMReady™. The Alberta Company was established in 2009 with a mandate to design and manufacture compact Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) devices. The company initially sought to commercialize Force-detected NMR (FDNMR) as realized in BOOMERANG technology, but soon transitioned to miniaturize traditional NMR to bring FT NMR technology to the bench or glovebox.

The NMReady™ debuted in March, 2012 at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego. Conference attendees were pleasantly surprised to find 60MHz spectroscopic resolution, running both 19F and 1H, at a fraction of the size and cost of current NMR instrumentation. The small size of the instrument allows it to fit on the benchtop, in the fume hood or even inside a glovebox. It comes equipped with a built-in touch screen display that features an easy-to-use, OneTouch NMR, operator interface. The NMReady is a cryogen-free NMR system, uses standard 3mm and 5 mm NMR tubes and has a very modest service schedule.

The NMReady has application in all types of industries, including oil & gas, chemical, pharma, biotech, and food processing, and in government and university labs. It also works as an ideal training tool in an academic setting, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with NMR. The compact NMR spectrometer can improve workflow, reduce costs of outsourcing and allow large organizations to optimize all of their spectroscopic resources.

Nanalysis has just entered into a collaborative research agreement with Thesis Chemistry, a Green Chemistry organization in Cambridge, Ontario. The company will integrate the analytical capability of the NMReady bench-top NMR spectrometer into their program of transforming lignocellulosic biomass into green chemicals.

Nanalysis will be showcasing the NMReady at CSC 2012, May 26-30, 2012, in Calgary. Visit booth #222, to get a live demo and see first-hand the capabilities of the NMReady.
