Varian, Inc. Debuts FastMAS(TM) and UltraFastMAS(TM) NMR Probes for Solid State Analysis
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 24 / -- Varian, Inc. (NASDAQ:VARI) today introduced unique probe technology that is expected to fundamentally improve the ability of researchers to conduct applications research in solid state NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). The FastMAS(TM) and UltraFastMAS(TM) probes are used to analyze solid materials meeting diverse application requirements in the life science and pharmaceutical industries.
The new line of probes is the first commercial product of its kind and is designed to improve resolution, which increases the value and quality of spectral data information provided by NMR. Additionally, these probes reduce the amount of sample required for analysis.
"FastMAS probes open the door for a variety of solid-state NMR experiments to be conducted that weren't previously possible," said Martin O'Donoghue, senior vice president of Scientific Instruments, Varian, Inc. "We expect that method developers will come to see these probes as a 'must-have tool' to provide high performance solid-state results."
Orders are being accepted now for the new FastMAS and UltraFastMAS probes with delivery scheduled to begin later this calendar year.
Core to Varian, Inc.'s strategy is strengthening the company's information rich detection (IRD) product portfolio, which provides users with multi-dimensional layers of knowledge critical to their ability to optimize analyses and processes. These products include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, mass spectrometry (MS) and Fourier Transform- infrared (FT-IR) systems.
