Oxford Instruments launches X-Pulse, the world’s first broadband multinuclear benchtop NMR spectrometer

Oxford Instruments has launched X-Pulse, a high resolution 60MHz benchtop NMR system. X-Pulse offers research chemists capabilities in their laboratories that were previously available only on complex and expensive high-field NMR spectrometers in specialist facilities.

X-Nuclei: true multinuclear capability

X-Pulse is the first benchtop NMR system to offer true multinuclear capability. The system can be tuned to any nucleus from ²⁹Si to ³¹P easily, without having to change NMR probes. This means that users can select whichever nucleus they want, on a single instrument.

Flow chemistry at variable temperature

A unique flow cell and variable temperature probe allow dynamic chemical reactions to be continuously monitored, with the variable temperature capability from 20°C to 70°C, helping users to understand the processes and kinetics of their reactions in detail.

High resolution

Revolutionary new shimming technology delivers lineshapes of less than 0.35Hz/10Hz as standard, making it easier to separate overlapping peaks and identify smaller concentrations of compounds.

High stability

A traditional magnet design with high thermal mass makes X-Pulse insensitive to sample temperature variations, whether static or flowing, so that sample temperature artefacts are eliminated.

Dr James Sagar, Strategic Product Manager for Oxford Instruments Magnetic Resonance, said, “X-Pulse represents a significant step forward in the capabilities of benchtop NMR spectrometers. Research and industrial chemists no longer need to compromise on specifications or limit themselves to certain experiments – X-Pulse has it all.”

X-Pulse is available to order now.
