Hardware
Some parts of this page are still under construction
We hope to rectify this soon.
The MRRC adapts, builds and develops a lot of its own hardware in order to improve and add extra dimensionality to the capabilities of NMR. This includes developing our own probes and innovative probe components, as well as building extended experimental setups.
Bubble-box
Bubble set-up for (high) magnetic field supply of parahydrogen
System designed for the repetitive gas supply at up to 100 psi through a solution in a Wilmad QPV NMR tube. Control is achieved using TTL pulses synchronized within the NMR sequence (Bruker Topspin, Agilent/Varian (Open)Vnmrj). Stable and reproducible mixing is achieved by using a (variable) release pressure and back pressure. Used for non‐hydrogenative parahydrogen hyperpolarization.

Stripline coil
The stripline is an innovative transceiver that is optimised for small volumes and 2D geometries such as polymer films. The flat conductor, sandwiched between two ground plates, creates a highly homogeneous B1-field. For more information, see some of our publications using striplines:
