JEOL NMR in high demand

The New JNM-ECZ High field NMR series is booming. Recent installations of 400 MHz, 500 MHz and 600 MHz for liquid experiments, but also for solids is proving the excellent performance of these systems. With old magnets and new probes making it possible to do 3 channel experiments on a two channel spectrometer JEOL is showing the way to modern NMR systems at lower cost of ownership.

Improvement of our application center in UK together with the any installations, we now can demonstrate the wide range of system configurations.

Release of the JIB-4700F Multi Beam System

The JIB-4700F features a hybrid conical objective lens, GENTLEBEAM™ (GB) mode and an in-lens detector system to deliver a guaranteed resolution of 1.6nm at a low accelerating voltage of 1 kV. Using an "in-lens Schottky-emission electron gun" that produces an electron beam with a maximum probe-current of 300nA, this newly-developed instrument allows for high-resolution observations and fast analyses. For the FIB column, a high-current density Ga ion beam of up to 90nA maximum probe-current is employed for fast ion milling and processing of specimens.

Concurrent with high-speed cross-section processing by FIB, high-resolution SEM observations and fast analyses can be conducted utilizing energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Additionally, a three-dimensional analysis function that automatically captures SEM images at certain intervals in cross-section processing is provided as one of the JIB-4700F's standard features.

JEOL introduces the InfiTOF Spectrometer JMS-MT3010HRGA

The InfiTOF  Spectrometer JMS-MT3010HRGA is a Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer using Multi-turn® and Perfect focusing® technologies, which achieves high mass-resolving power in a very compact package. This mass spectrometer is designed for real time monitoring of directly introduced gas. It is a high mass-resolution mass spectrometer with stability for real time gas monitoring and capable of elemental composition determination through accurate mass measurement.

High-Resolution Gas Monitoring

MS measurement results shown below are acquired by introducing the standard gases (10 ppm each) and then performing sequential measurement of 4 hours at high mass resolution conditions. High-resolution gas monitoring is enabled for all components over a long period of time with high stability.

High Mass Resolving Power

An innovative Multi-Turn technology makes the spectrometer compact while maintaining high mass resolving power. The maximum resolving power of 40,000 (FWHM) or higher is achieved even for a low-mass range, such as nitrogen molecule (28.0062 Da). With the conventional compact spectrometers, it was difficult to perform mass separation of gas components like carbon monoxide (27.9949) and nitrogen molecule (28.0062), or carbon dioxide (43.9898) and nitrous oxide (44.0011 Da). However, a new InfiTOF can easily separate these gas components and moreover, this revolutionized spectrometer calculates elemental composition through accurate mass measurement. 

Capable of Measuring Hydrogen Ions

JMS-MT3010HRGA is capable of measuring proton (1.0078 Da; a fragment ion of hydrogen molecule) as well as hydrogen molecule (2.0157 Da). Hydrogen is very difficult to measure with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer because of very low mass and fast flight velocity compared to other elements. The JMS-MT3010HRGA, however, achieves stable measurement of these species. This capability will contribute to research of various advanced materials, including electrolytic reactions and catalyst reactions.

Inauguration of the JEM-1400Plus in Ghent on 24th March 2016

24^th March 2016 knew the festive inauguration of the JEM-1400Plus, JEOL’s 120 kV TEM, in Ghent. The 1400Plus is JEOL’s latest generation 120 kV TEM. This system is extremely user-friendly and has integrated solutions for tomography as well as for large area imaging. The investment is a joint effort of 4 research centers of VIB (Flemish Institute for Biotechnology) and 1 research center of Ghent University:

·         Inflammation Research Center (VIB-IRC)

·         Plant Systems Biology (VIB-PSB)

·         Medical Biotechnology Center (VIB-MBC)

·         VIB Core facilities

·         Center for Medical Genetics Ghent University (CMGG)

In her welcome speech Prof. Anne de Paepe, Rector of Ghent University and Director of CMGG, emphasized the importance of collaboration for the acquisition and exploitation of large equipment.

The official “cutting of the ribbon” was followed by a demonstration of the 1400Plus and a reception with a variety of drinks and delicious snacks for the more than 100 participants.
