Exceptional resolution for demanding applications
The permament magnet technology realizes a best-in-class 125 MHz (3 Tesla) magnet strength. With such a high resolution it easily analyses key components in many industries, including food and chemical/energy.
In the following example glucose and ethanol can be measured simultaneously in a single measurement. Measurements using QM-125 indicate that the glucose consumed by yeast is generally reduced and ethanol increases with the number of days elapsed after retention.

Simple Operation and Low Maintenance Costs
-

-
Simply draw samples into a syringe and inject them into the flow line.
Following analysis, samples can be collected using appropriate solvents for further evaluation. With a measurement unit requiring just 5 μL, the QM-125 enables analysis with minimal sample volume.
The QM-125 uses permanent magnets to generate its magnetic field, eliminating the need for liquid helium or liquid nitrogen refrigerants. This simplifies operation and installation while eliminating routine refrigerant refilling.
With no need for regular cryogen maintenance, the QM-125 can significantly reduce ongoing operating and maintenance costs compared with conventional NMR spectrometers.
Compact Design that Fits Installation Locations
-
The QM-125 eliminates the specialized installation requirements of superconducting NMR systems, allowing it to be installed virtually anywhere.
Despite its robust design, the QM-125 has a compact footprint of just 37 × 34 × 30 cm and weighs only 28 kg. Its straightforward installation allows users to set up the system themselves, without the need for specialized installation services. With a short stabilization time after installation, the QM-125 can also be easily relocated when laboratory needs change
