Hyphenation
Major tools for small molecule research
and mixture analysis include HPLC, SPE,
NMR and MS. Bruker offers hyphenated
systems to meet various research needs.
While NMR can be used to investigate
the complete mixture, LC-NMR can analyze the individual compounds separated
by the chromatography. An LC-NMR
interface can easily be added to any NMR
system from Bruker thereby also enabling
hyphenated LC-(SPE)-NMR(/MS) applications. By combining the structural resolving power of NMR for the separated
compounds with the mass accuracy of
the micrOTOF, we can offer the most
complete system for structural analysis
available today.

LC-(SPE)-NMR
Two different methods for coupling are
possible: either by coupling the chromatography system directly to the NMR
spectrometer, or by the intermediate

collection of the samples. Direct coupling can be performed as stopflow or

on-flow analysis. For intermediate collection loop-storage or collection on
solid phase extraction (SPE)-cartridges
is possible.
The use of SPE provides an efficient
interface between chromatography and
NMR even enabling the analysis of low
level metabolites.

ELEXSYS-II E500 CW-EPR

Redefining research level EPR
Introduced in 1997 the ELEXSYS has
become the renowned research platform
for modern EPR. Over the years a constant technical evolution has assured to
keep track with new emerging demands
of the EPR society. The second generation of the pulse devices SpecJet-II
and PatternJet-II have been launched
in 2006 and just recently DICE-II
has become available.
Yet another major development step has
now created ELEXSYS-II. The OS9
acquisition server has been replaced and
the SuperX microwave bridge has been
redesigned with improved specifications.
The new multi-purpose signal processing unit (SPU) plays a central role in the
expanded capabilities of the ELEXSYS-II,
replacing the signal channel, fast digitizer,
and rapid scan with a single integrated
unit offering unprecedented performance
and specifications.

PatternJet-II
Virtually no experimental limits are
imposed by the PatternJet Series of
pulse programmers. Designed for the
needs of EPR this pulse programmer
features a dynamic range of 109, i.e. ns
resolution over a time scale of up to one
second. The well established concept of
our first generation PatternJet has been
technically enhanced and carried on to
the second generation PatternJet-II with
a 1 GHz clock.

SpecJet II

With the recent introduction of the

second generation pulse programmer
and transient recorder, PatternJet-II and
SpecJet-II, improvements in digital resolution and averaging capabilities have
again pushed up the performance level of
the E580.

With the first generation of SpecJet a

dramatic improvement in pulse-EPR
sensitivity could be achieved by highspeed signal averaging. The SpecJet-II
with 1 GHz sampling rate now further
enhances the abilities to capture fast
and short lived transient signals. The
real time display of the averaged
echo/FID can now be toggled between
time and FT mode and greatly facilitate
spectrometer handling and signal
optimization.
The extended memory of PatternJet-II
and SpecJet-II allow now overhead free
direct phase cycling even for 2D data
acquisition. A considerable measuring
time saving is achieved with this new
feature.

solariX
solariX, the next-generation hybrid
Qq-FTMS, is an easy to use, high
performing system that is equipped to
address the most challenging proteomics
and complex mixture applications.
The broad-band, ultra high resolving
power (> 1,000,000 @ m/z 400, 7 T) is
essential for tackling complex mixtures,
especially those that are not amenable
to on-line separation techniques
such as; hydrocarbon related analysis
(petroleomics), environmental analysis,
and metabolomics.
For applications that require high
performance LC-MS or LC-MS/MS, the
solariX is ideally suited. New functionality
provides more resolution when it is
needed most and with optional, faster
acquisitions for MS/MS data.
Added top-down versatility is provided
with fully enabled Electron Transfer
Dissociation (ETD). This exciting
new technique, combined with
FTMS performance, is superb for the
comprehensive analysis of proteins
and peptides and their subtle,
posttranslational modifications.

The solariX can be configured with Dual

ESI/MALDI (based on advanced ion
funnel technology) and a range of API
source options (APCI, GC-APCI, APPI).
Low maintenance, refrigerated magnets
are standard with solariX and can be

Tribology & Mechanical Testing (TMT)

Tribology Testing
Brukers CETR-UMT uses servo
motor control for increased accuracy and combines all common
test schematics in one platform.
The modular design enables
measurements of numerous
tribological and mechanical
properties of any material on the
same tester. By simply replacing
components , within a matter of
minutes the user can alternate
between reciprocating and rotating motion, from pin-on-disk to
block-on-ring or any of a number
of ASTM, DIN or ISO standard
tests. Unlike other instruments in
this class, the CETR-UMT is capable of highly accurate loading and
custom motion patterns through
the use of precision servo-control.

Nano & Micro Scratch and

Indentation
In semiconductor, solar and
MEMs applications, understanding the properties of thin films and
coatings is critically important.
Brukers CETR-Apex platform is
optimized for scratch and indentation these materials. This modular
platform allows the user to select
either micro or nano-scale testing
and to augment the mechanical
testing with either AFM or SOM
imaging for in line wear scar
analysis. Advanced sensors such
as acoustic emission or electrical
contact resistance and the ability
to program custom motion patterns, enable practical and repeatable in-situ testing of thin films
and coatings.

upper linear motion
Lower high-precision linear with upper
linear motion
Lower rotation (vertical axis) with upper
linear or rotary motion
Lower rotation (horizontal axis) with
upper linear or rotary motion

The Most Flexible Solution Without Compromise

When it comes to tribology testing or nano/micro scale
mechanical testing, there are many standards and test
protocols. Only the Bruker CETR-UMT and CETR-Apex
allow rapid changeover of configuration on a single, highprecision test platform, eliminating the need tot acquire
and maintain multiple instruments. From lubricants
to cosmetics formulation, semiconductor to LCD
coatings, orthopedic to automotive materials testing,
no other instrument offers as much flexibility without
compromising accuracy and repeatability.

Crystallography at the Forefront of Science

Great Science deserves great tools
Single Crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is the method of
choice for determining the 3-dimensional structure of any
kind of chemical compound. The method provides accurate
and precise measurements of molecular dimensions in
a way that no other investigative technique can begin to
approach.
To get the maximum benefit out of this technique, scientists need the latest analytical tools. This was the driving
vision of our development team for the D8 Crystallography
Solutions: to provide your cutting-edge research with the
superior tools it deserves!

Riding the Perfect Wave

Matching the right wavelength to your sample can significantly
improve the quality of the experiment. Molybdenum (Mo)
radiation is most often the wavelength of choice for chemical
crystallography. Copper (Cu) radiations stronger interaction with
the sample leads to stronger diffracted intensities and is typically
applied for organic samples and proteins. Silver (Ag) radiation
has minimal absorption and extinction effects and allows data
collection to higher resolution.

Biological Crystallography
Biological crystallographys rapid evolution has seen structural biologists tackling
projects of ever-greater ambition. At the
same time, modern structural genomics
and drug discovery initiatives are striving
for ever-greater productivity and efficiency.
This is placing significantly greater demands on researchers and instrumentation.
Latest technology achievements used in
the D8QUEST and D8VENTURE help the
researcher to address the even most challenging samples.

Brighten-up your Home Lab TURBO

X-RAY SOURCE, IS and HELIOS MX
A successful diffraction experiment starts
with an excellent X-ray source. Whether you
choose the high-flux TURBO X-RAY SOURCE
(TXS) microfocus rotating anode generator
or the outstanding IS microfocus source,
you always get the best-in-class for all of
your applications. The new TXS and IS
now deliver beam intensities comparable to
those of typical bending-magnet beamlines.
For example, a 10-second exposure from the
TXS or 70 seconds from the IS can produce
the same diffracted intensity as a 1-second
exposure at these beamlines. Our high
intensity, superior beam profiles, unmatched
beam stability, and instant access makes
home-lab crystallography with Bruker solutions more productive than ever before.
