Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) today launched the EMXnano™ system
at the 56th annual Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Conference (ENC). EMXnano™ is the first high-performance
benchtop EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) instrument, making
research-grade EPR capabilities accessible to a broader range of
scientists.

The EMXnano can be used to analyze many EPR samples,
including transition metals, antioxidants and free radicals,
providing valuable information and insights into biological and
chemical systems. Bruker has integrated a novel, permanent magnet
and an efficient new microwave resonator to deliver unmatched
sensitivity and stability in a benchtop EPR system, making the
EMXnano suitable for a wide range of analyses, teaching
applications, as well as for quantitative EPR with the inclusion of
Bruker’s patented spin counting module.
The EMXnano has been designed with the user in mind,
delivering research performance with ease of use. The instrument
includes defined workflows for easy and fast system setup, with a
user friendly interface that allows parameters to be easily
adjusted also by non-EPR experts. Various accessories are available
to tailor the EMXnano to specific application fields. The
extension of Bruker’s renowned EMX spectrometer family to the
benchtop provides many features typically found only on
sophisticated, floor-standing EPR instruments.
Professors Sandra and Gareth Eaton from the University of Denver
commented: “We congratulate Bruker on the impressive engineering
and performance of the EMXnano. Its sensitivity, scan range,
and ease of use will stimulate adoption of EPR by a larger
scientific community. We are especially pleased with the
quantitative EPR capabilities.”
EPR is used for both static and dynamic investigations of
materials, chemicals and biological systems, including molecular
radical structures and formation. EPR is advantageous for dynamic
measurements as an EPR spectrum can be measured while applying
changes in conditions, such as temperature or light irradiation.
Applications include polymer synthesis, testing the purity of
silicon in solar cells, spin trapping to assess the oxidative
stability of flavors, and the analysis of metalloproteins. In
electrochemistry, redox chemistry, photochemistry and catalysis,
the EMXnano can be used to study metal centers and radicals
involved in chemical processes.
“New applications have revived interest in EPR as an analytical
tool for chemistry, materials science and biology,” commented Dr.
Werner Maas, President of the Bruker BioSpin MRS division. “We
answered the calls from our customers and have developed a compact,
yet high performance EPR benchtop instrument, the
EMXnano.”
