Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ:BRKR) today announced a multi-system order from the University of California, Berkeley for high-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) instrumentation at the Pines Magnetic Resonance Center. The investment will enhance access to next-generation NMR technologies, including 800 MHz–class instrumentation. These capabilities strengthen research in chemistry, materials science, structural biology, and related fields across UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

 

The Pines Magnetic Resonance Center (PMRC) comprises faculty, technical staff, and postdoctoral researchers. The PMRC Core NMR facility is a leading shared NMR resource, offering 24/7 access to researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. By integrating high-performance instrumentation with method development, training, and analytical services, the facility enables multidisciplinary studies of molecular structure, dynamics, and function.

The investment is centered on a Bruker AV NEO-X 800 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryogenically cooled MAS CryoProbe, complemented by several additional NMR systems and upgrades supporting solid-state, solution-state and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) research.
