The 14.1 Tesla (600 MHz proton frequency) MRI scanner/NMR spectrometer consists of a 8.9-cm wide bore, actively screened, vertical bore magnet (Magnex Scientific) interfaced to a Bruker Avance III HD spectrometer console with Paravison 6.0 operating software for MRI and Topspin 3.5 operating software for NMR. Capabilities include dual RF channels and deuterium lock; 5-mm and 10-mm direct and indirect observation high-resolution (0.7 ppb) multinuclear multidimensional liquid state NMR spectroscopy; high-resolution (1.6 ppb) 1H and 13C magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy (including gradient spectroscopy); high-power multinuclear cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectroscopy; an automated MAS sample changer; multinuclear microimaging (1H/13C, 1H/31P, and 1H/19F) and spectroscopy; actively screened gradients up to 1000 mT/m; and variable controlled temperature from –100 to +150 °C with stability approaching 0.1 °C.
