Bruker, the leader in analytical magnetic resonance
instrumentation, today announced major orders from the new Central
European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) in Brno, Czech Republic.
The package of four ultra-high field AVANCE™ NMR systems at
950, 800 and two times 700 MHz, will establish CEITEC as the
premier biological NMR research facility in Central and Eastern
Europe, and as one of the leading NMR facilities in Europe.

Providing optimum conditions for the emergence of new scientific
discoveries by concentrating cutting-edge instrumentation in one
location, CEITEC’s integrated high-tech infrastructure of shared
and specialized laboratories will also serve as a focal point to
attract and support top NMR experts from around the world.
The AVANCE III 950 offers one of the highest magnetic
fields for NMR applications. The 950 US2 magnet
combines Bruker’s proven proprietary UltraShield™ active-shielding
and UltraStabilized™ sub-cooling technologies. With already
six installations at customer sites worldwide, this unique 950 MHz
magnet, which has only been delivered by Bruker, provides ideal
capabilities for demanding multidimensional biological NMR
applications, while at the same time requiring a relatively small
footprint due to its small stray field.
The AVANCE III 800 and two AVANCE III 700
spectrometers feature the latest Ascend™ magnet technology
that combines the key advantages of Bruker’s well-established
UltraShield™ Plus magnets with the superior performance and greater
convenience delivered by advanced superconductor technology. This
further innovation has enabled the design of smaller magnet coils,
resulting in a significant reduction in the size of the cryostats.
The new Ascend magnets are therefore easier to site, even
safer to run and offer significantly reduced operating costs. With
over 200 customer installations, Bruker has an unmatched track
record in ultra-high field NMR magnet technology, enabling
scientific discoveries of structural biologists worldwide.
The AVANCE III digital rf architecture and Bruker’s
unique, next-generation CryoProbe™ technology complement
such magnet performance with an unprecedented level of digital
control, speed, flexibility, exceptionally pure NMR frequency
generation, and unmatched sensitivity.
Professor Vladimír Sklenář, the CEITEC Structural Biology
Program Coordinator, commented: “CEITEC will become an important
European centre of science and education. The project will
contribute to the science research capacity of the Czech Republic
and also strengthen relations between Czech science and top
international research institutes and companies. CEITEC’s
structural biology program aims to obtain the knowledge necessary
to understand the basic functions and life processes at the
molecular and cellular levels. High-field NMR spectroscopy will be
combined with other progressive high-resolution methods of
structural analysis such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction,
high-end cryo-electron microscopy and tomography, atomic force
understanding of the vital cellular processes. A new integrated
infrastructure will be used to develop modern methods of structural
biology and to extract molecular data crucial for biochemical and
biomedical applications. Structural biology core facilities will
form the essential part of the Czech Infrastructure for Integrative
Structural Biology (CIISB) which has been approved as a National
Affiliate Centre of INSTRUCT.”
