Bruker BioSpin has introduced the new Fourier 300, an easy-to-use 300 MHz high-resolution spectrometer that brings FT-NMR within any chemist’s reach. With its robust Fourier probe technology, easy software, miniaturised electronics and proven magnets, it is a complete proton and carbon 1D and 2D FT-NMR system. TopSpin software combines various new features to explore NMR at ease, making the Fourier 300 suitable for chemical education and industrial routine analysis. It is also a compact, cost effective instrument for routine, walk-up, small molecule analysis in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, whether it be to qualify materials, verify reactions or verify organic molecule structures, without being dependent on larger, centralised NMR laboratories. Optional software packages are available to expand the system’s use to include structure elucidation, structure consistency checks, analysis of mixtures and absolute quantification experiments.
