Bruker Continuous Wave and Pulsed EleXsys E580 EPR-ELDOR Spectrometer
Spectrometer is equipped with 12” magnet and 4 kW power supply, providing maximum field strength 0.45T. Variable temperature capabilities from 4K to 370K are performed with Oxford Instruments He system, including He dewar with optical port, He transfer line and Oxford Instruments gas flow and temperature controllers. Variable temperature capabilities from 90K to 370K are performed using nitrogen boil system or nitrogen or oxygen gas with ER 4131VT temperature controller. Spectrometer is equipped with rapid scan and fast digitizer capabilities. Spectrometer is linked to local area network and the Internet. A Nd:YAG Inlite III-10 high-energy eximer laser (Continuum) is available for flash-photolysis of caged compounds.
