Over the past decades there has been a significant growth in demand for miniaturization in all areas of modern research and development. Evoked by many exciting applications, there is a need for analytical methods which require smaller amounts of sample.
Bruker meets this challenge with a revolutionary NMR probe design: The 1mm (and 1.7mm) MicroProbe. It operates with disposable 1mm (resp. 1.7) capillary sample tubes and the sample volume of 5 (resp. 30) microliters enables use of the lowest amounts of sample to run all high resolution NMR experiments with outstanding sensitivity.
由于TXI-Type探针设计,Z级线圈和自动匹配和调谐配件,1MM微型探针可用于多种NMR实验。
The 1mm TXI MicroProbe offers the highest1H mass sensitivity for RT probes which results in an up to 4 times higher mass sensitivity than 5mm conventional probes (with respect to the same sample amount). The 1.7mm TXI MicroProbe offers an optimal1手13C mass sensitivity.
The sample tubes are transferred into the magnet by use of shuttle, very similar to the well known 5mm spinners. The tube does not need to be adjusted inside the shuttle since all adjustments are made automatically inside the probe. These shuttles may be used in Bruker-BioSpin’s automatic NMR sample changers such as the SampleCase and the SampleJet.
The MicroProbes works with discrete, disposable 1mm sample tubes, which may be sealed after filling. The glass tubes have a plastic, v-shaped top part attached to them, which allows for easy manual sample filling even with volumes as small as 5 (resp. 30) micro liters. The tubes may be equipped with a digital matrix code on the plastic top parts, which then uniquely identifies each sample.
Even though manual sample filling is straight forward, with the SamplePro, Tubeᵀᴹ a sample preparation robot is available, which enables the fast, reliable and comfortable filling of many 1mm (resp. 1.7mm) sample tubes at a time. Here the sample tubes are arranged in the industry-standard 96 well plate format, so that the tube racks are fully compatible with all other laboratory or storage equipment which is capable to handle this format. They can also be directly used in our SampleJet.
质量有限样本和减少费用Deuterated Solvents
Due to their high mass sensitivity MicroProbes are especially well suited for the investigation of highly soluble compounds that are only available in limited amounts. This is often the case in natural products, but also in body fluids like CSF or blood and urine from rodents. The TXI-probe design allows to run the full range of experiments typically needed in biologic samples.
Needing only small amounts of deuterated solvents helps to keep the overall cost of an experiment low and will also help to get best performance, if solvent suppression is required. Therefore MicroProbes are well established in quality control of compound libraries, where only limited quantities of protonated solutions are available for NMR spectroscopy.
