(Information on TeachSpin's CURRENT Pulsed/CW NMR)

Pulsed NMR PS1-B (Discontinued*)

introduction | the instrument | experiments | specifications| prices


*
Although the original PS1 series PULSED NMR SPECTROMETER is no longer being built, we maintain these pages for the convenience of our users and continue to support the instruments. As far as we know, all of them are still in action, including the very first one, which was delivered to Carnegie-Mellon University in the spring of 1994.
