Tour of the Magnets

MagnetsThe Oxford University Biomembrane Structure Unit currently has five magnets located at the R34 at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, Harwell. All magnets are wide-bore (89mm bore diameter) and have a range of probes to suit the fields.

We currently have probes suitable for static (non-spinning) work and for magic-angle spinning studies. Rotor sizes vary from 2.5 - 7mm diameter. The probes are single-. double-, or triple-channeled, including a 4mm 1H19FX probe from Varian, Inc. .

Experiment acquisition is supported by consoles from Chemagnetics, Varian, and Bruker. Our most recent magnet and console installation was in January 2005 when a new 500/89 shielded Magnex magnet was installed together with a Varian Infinity+ console.

The booking schedule and status of the magnets, consoles and probes may be found here.

Oxford Instruments 400 The 400 MHz wide-bore Oxford Instruments magnet is supported by a 3-channel CMX Infinity spectrometer (1H 1 kW and 2 broadband 1 kW amplifiers). View the magnet and console.

Bruker 400 The Bruker 400 MHz Spectrospin wide-bore magnet is supported by a Bruker Avance 400 spectrometer (1H 1 kW and 2 broadband 1 kW amplifiers). View the magnet and console.

Magnex 500 (Infinity) The 500 MHz wide-bore Magnex magnet is unshielded and is supported by a 4-channel CMX Infinity spectrometer (1H 500 W, 19F 500 W and 2 broadband 1 kW amplifiers).
