Thermo Fisher Acquires picoSpin

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 8, 2013 — Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has completed the acquisition of picoSpin LLC, the Boulder, Colo., company that developed picoSpin-45, the world’s first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The spectrometer provides the functionality of a full-size unit in a shoebox-size design and is 70 times smaller than other products of its type. It is suitable for academic, industrial and research applications. The acquisition will expand Thermo Fisher’s array of analytical tools available to undergraduate and graduate chemistry laboratories as well as to analytical...Read full article

    nuclear magnetic resonance
    A phenomenon, exploited for medical imaging, in which the nuclei of material placed in a strong magnetic field will absorb radio waves supplied by a transmitter at particular frequencies. The energy of the radio-frequency photons is used to promote the nucleus from a low-energy state, in which the nuclear spin is aligned parallel to the strong magnetic field, to a higher-energy state in which the spin is opposed to the field. When the source of the radio waves is turned off, many nuclei will...
    spectrometer
    A kind of spectrograph in which some form of detector, other than a photographic film, is used to measure the distribution of radiation in a particular wavelength region.
