I have a very basic question for this forum but I am starting only now to work in this field and hope you will understand it.
I am currently starting the process of purchasing a fully equipped NMR device and because of that I am trying to get involved all valuable manufactures on the market.
As far as my knowledge goes I have focused my attention on:
-Bruker
-Varian
-Jeol
-Jupiter
do I miss any other major manufacturer?
Can any of you tell me which model manufactured by each of the aforementioned companies is comparable with the fully equipped Bruker Avance NMR 700 spectromer?
I am not an expert in NMR hardware... but, in most NMR labs in Northern America, you will find either Varian or Bruker spectrometers. I happened to work with both kinds in the past and their performances were about the same (for protein samples). I got impression that, back in 90's, Varian service and software were better/easier to use while Bruker hardware was more reliable and it was easier to code Bruker pulse-programs. Things could change since then and Varian and Bruker are likely to be much closer to each other with respect to their service, software and hardware these days. So you may want to be a bit more specific about what spectrometer/company features you are particularly interested in. There are quite many factors that may influence your purchasing decision.
Cheers,
Mark
