Varian Inova 500 MHz

Varian Unity Inova 500 MHz Spectrometer

 

  • Solids and liquids capabilities
  • Four High Power Channels (HFXY)
  • Independant waveform generator on all four channels
  • Low Gamma Capabilities
  • Equipped with a variable temperature Unit (-150 to+250 degrees celcius)
  • A large array of HFXY probes with full VT capabilities (see below)
  • Full Imaging capabilities with X, Y, and Z gradient amplifiers

This instrument is currently housed in the magnetic resonance lab (EP1301) in the Canadian Center for Behavioural Neuroscience (CCBN) and was originally purchased with funding obtained from the Alberta Network for Proteonomic Innovation (ANPI).

Breaking News:

The University of Lethbridge Magnetic Resonance Facility has just received a $250,000 NSERC RTI award to purchase a complete HFXY console upgrade for the 500 MHz widebore spectrometer!
