At PhoenixNMR, we test designs thoroughly so you can focus on your science, not on your equipment.
In the first testing video, a rotor is tested to destruction. Don’t try this at home – these are trained professionals!
In the second testing video, a PMAS controller is put through its paces with a Bruker 3.2 mm probe. Notice the smooth transitions from one speed to the next and the awesome spinning stability at each speed – complete control!
Testing Rotors to Destruction – So You Don’t Have To!
PMAS Controller Testing: Ramping to 20 kHz and Down with Bruker 3.2 mm Module. Testing Spin Profiles
We love that our customers love our products! Thanks to David Halat and Chad Rienstra (NMRFAM, @NMRFAM) for their thoughtful appreciation of the careful, scientific design approach that goes into all our products at PhoenixNMR. Your science is in our hearts, and we are happy to see you back in the lab.
Below: aliphatic region of the 2D CC spectrum of 15N, 13C labeled alpha-synuclein protein monomer seeded from a brain tissue sample (250 ms CORD mixing), acquired at 900 MHz 1H field at the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison (NMRFAM, @NMRFAM) , utilizing a PhoenixNMR HFXY probe fitted with a 1.6mm module and PhoenixNMR speed controller (PMAS).
We are pleased to announce that the first custom-designed 900 MHz quadruple resonance HFXY 1.6 mm #ssnmr MAS probe has been successfully installed @NMRFAM, thanks to the amazing production schedule and exceptional customer service from our friends at https://t.co/zCbwW0x10Wpic.twitter.com/XkipGVafun
The PhoenixNMR HFXY probe was operated in double resonance mode at MASS = 20 kHz; mixing time = 250 ms; total time to acquire spectrum = 20 hrs using 4 blocks of 1024 rows each; 8 acquisitions per row; pulse delay = 1.5 s; CORDxy4 recoupling plus SPINAL decoupling.

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) signal-enhancement capability is now available in combination with innovative Phoenix Solid-State NMR (SSNMR) probe technology to expand the scope and sensitivity of biomolecular and materials SSNMR research at 400-600 MHz. The new Phoenix MAS-DNP probe system utilizes the same robust, professional design strategy that scientists have come to expect in all Phoenix SSNMR probes and accessories.

13C CP/MAS DNP enhancement of 77:1 was measured using a PhoenixNMR 395 GHz/600 MHz DNP HFXY probe fitted with a 2.5 mm spinning module. Sample Temperature = 124 K; MASS = 10 kHz. The sample was prepared using 10 mM AMUPol biradical and “DNP Juice” = d8-Glycerol/H2O/D2O at a 6/3/1 ratio.
Overview of the Phoenix DNP Innovation
Add a new Phoenix DNP probe to expand capability on an existing DNP SSNMR instrument; or
Add a Turn-key DNP System, including gyrotron, to an existing 9.4 – 14.1 T, Wide-Bore SSNMR instrument, pairing the robust Phoenix NMR probe technology with Bridge12 Technologies components to complete the DNP package;
Combine DNP with HFXY and HFX probe configurations;
