Magritek Announce Webinar On Advanced NMR Applications For Benchtop Systems

San Diego, 18th October 2016: Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, will present a webinar on Advanced NMR Techniques for Structure Analysis on Benchtop Systems on Thursday 27th October.

Continuing their leadership position to educate users about the potential applications for benchtop NMR instruments, Magritek announce their latest webinar to be given on Thursday 27th October, It will be presented by Dr Paul Bowyer, worldwide support manager for Magritek.

In recent years there has been rapidly growing interest in benchtop NMR spectrometers as a viable alternative to traditional high-field systems. Benchtop systems are compact in size and, because they utilise permanent rather than cryogen-thirsty superconducting magnets, they are less expensive to purchase, economical to run, and require little or no system maintenance. Of course, the lower B0 field strengths (less than 2 Tesla) used by benchtop systems mean that they may be unable to provide the resolving power or sensitivity needed for some applications. However, some of these limitations can be overcome by drawing upon the rich vein of NMR methodological development that has taken place over the past six decades. In this webinar we illustrate how a number of well-established and modern NMR techniques from the high-field world, such as 2D, non-uniform sampling (NUS), pure shift experiments, can be implemented and used on a benchtop NMR system to solve problems and applications previously considered to be beyond the reach of these systems.

About Paul Bowyer: After completing a degree in chemistry, Paul obtained a Ph.D. in NMR technique development under the supervision of Professor Gareth Morris at the University of Manchester, where he focussed on reducing artefacts in multidimensional experiments through improvements to hardware, data acquisition and processing methods. He also worked on improving DOSY methods for measuring molecular self-diffusion. Paul joined Varian as an NMR applications scientist in 2000, based near Oxford in the UK working there for over a decade. In 2012, Paul took a position as an applications scientist for Agilent based in Santa Clara, CA, where he continued to work on developing NMR software and applications for their systems. In 2015, he joined Magritek as Product Support Manager. In this role he has been focussing on providing technical and applications support to customers. He also contributes towards applications development and is a regular contributor to Magritek's blog.
