A Lightweight Learning Spectrometer
New FT-NMR system well suited to educational applications

Bruker recently announced a new, permanent-magnet based, benchtop FT-NMR spectrometer, the FOURIER 60.

The system stands out for its safety, efficiency, usability, ergonomics and performance and is suited to a variety of applications such as chemistry education at colleges and universities, as well as industrial and applied markets.

“The FOURIER 60 is ideal for the academic teaching lab, as it offers high performance and flexibility, as well as ease of use and robustness that both educators and students can rely on,” said professor emer. Dr. Peter Bigler, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bern, Switzerland. “The inclusion of Bruker’s TopSpin software provides the ideal platform for intuitive learning and swift progression to more challenging experiments.”

TopSpin operating and integrated analysis software, as well as the system’s industrystandard 5 mm NMR sample tube format are also fully compatible with superconducting NMR systems. That compatibility means the system is easy to use and makes it simpler for students to transition to higher field instruments which they may encounter in their careers.

Easy sample introduction and an option for automatic sample changes also make this small, lightweight system ideal for a variety of skill levels and it offers strong performance with excellent resolution, a built-in pressurized air supply and an option for variable sample temperature control.

“Our goal was to deliver excellent all-around usability to our customers, and to create an affordable, best-in-class benchtop FT-NMR spectrometer,” said Dr. Thomas Bocher, business unit manager for compact magnetic resonance at Bruker BioSpin.

Transforming Data into Knowledge
Software helps companies develop new products quicker and more efficiently

An industry-first laboratory informatics system recently released by Accelrys aims to provide a big boost to experimentation management. The company’s Experiment Knowledge Base (EKB), designed specifically for research and development, enables organizations to transform mass amounts of scientific data into knowledge essential for faster, more efficient new product innovation.

EKB allows scientists to search and mine experimentation data from almost any source. The system also provides integration and interoperability with existing lab equipment and applications as well as features for improving experimentation management and collaboration.

“With a specific focus on R&D, EKB complements our downstream laboratory informatics offerings, including the newly released Accelrys LIMS, and exemplifies Accelrys’ continued commitment to providing first-in-class products that streamline the scientific innovation lifecycle across the lab-tocommercialization value chain and accelerate innovative new product development,” said Leif Pedersen, senior vice president of marketing, product management and corporate development at Accelrys.

Through its unique features, EKB aims to solve the problems caused by poorly architected legacy R&D informatics systems that have not kept pace with today’s fast-changing business environments and the large amounts of complex data generated. EKB’s unique “data mart” approach allows end users to consider new ways to query data every day, without the necessity to re-architect the system or its database.

“The market for ‘traditional’ laboratory informatics systems such as LIMS (laboratory information management systems) and ELNs (electronic laboratory notebooks) is evolving, particularly in R&D,” said Michael Elliott, chief executive officer of market research firm Atrium Research.

“Companies are demanding more intelligent and flexible systems to manage real-world workflows and ever-more large and complex data.”
