At ISMRM 2011, Bruker today announces a novel BioSpec® 150/11 system, a new ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner for preclinical research that will open new frontiers in molecular and microscopic imaging. Based on Bruker’s proven 15.0 Tesla shielded refrigerated USR™ magnet technology, which has already been successfully installed in several Bruker FT- mass spectrometry customer laboratories, this new MRI system takes advantage of the intrinsically high signal-to-noise ratio and enhanced contrast mechanisms at high fields. Leveraging the concurrent development of the first 15 Tesla MRI CryoProbe™ for high resolution neuroimaging, the new BioSpec® 150/11 system enables new research on in vivo molecular events.
