Optimized magnetic field system for benchtop NMR

The Falcon-B is an improved magnetic field changing system for benchtop NMR instruments that transports samples between magnetic field strengths of 1 Tesla and 0.1 millitesla in just 400 milliseconds. This fast and precise adjustment of the magnetic field enables detailed investigations of spin physics and nuclear spin hyperpolarization, which are of great importance for advanced research and applications in physics and medicine. In addition, the system offers a 360° rotation function for improved ease of use and flexibility in sample handling. This innovative function makes the user’s work considerably easier and ensures that the samples can be optimally positioned and analyzed. The Falcon-B was developed as part of Kiel University’s validation fund and supported in prototype development by FabLab Kiel and the MakerCube initiative.
