New 1.2 GHz Spectrometer Arrived On April 29, 2013, the German Federal Science Council (Wissenschaftsrat) had approved an 33 Mio € application of the BNMRZ for a new dedicated building, including a 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer, which is co-supported by the Helmholtz Zentrum München. The building was finished in 2017, and the BNMRZ groups moved in in spring 2018. Now, on Feb. 1, 2022, finally the new 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer was delivered from its manufacturer Bruker. |
