Published Date: 03 September 2010 MQC Benchtop NMR Analyzer at EAS Oxford Instruments Magnetic Resonance, a leading supplier of low-field benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, with North American operations based in Concord, Massachusetts, announces that it will be showcasing its popular MQC analyzer at the Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exposition (EAS), November 15th - 18th, 2010, in booth #238 at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, New Jersey.
Oxford Instruments' MQC is well suited to both product development and quality assurance applications. It is ideal for determining the oil content of seeds, nuts, and grains as well as in a wide variety of processed foods including snack foods and animal feed.
Since NMR acquires a signal from the whole sample and not just from the surface, it provides better accuracy and precision than alternative secondary techniques. For some applications, for example when analyzing oilseeds, it is possible to measure simultaneously both the water and oil concentrations.
A compact size and a separate housing for the electronics minimizes the footprint on critical laboratory benchtop workspace. MQC analyzers also include a space-saving internal computer that runs Oxford Instruments’ unique and easy to use EasyCal software. With the recent increase in size to a 17-inch LCD flat screen monitor mounted directly on the instrument, the user is provided with a clear view of results and operational instructions. New test and diagnostic software makes remote servicing of the instrument a cost-saving convenience. Published Date: 02 September 2010 Undergraduates use MARAN Ultra NMR Analyzers Oxford Instruments Magnetic Resonance, the leading supplier of low-field benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, offers a range of GeoSpec rock analyzers including the MARAN Ultra. The University of Oklahoma uses a total of seven of these instruments in undergraduate education and research.
According to Dr. Carl Sondergeld, professor and associate dean of the University of Oklahoma’s Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, the instruments are ideal for evaluating the petrophysical properties of rocks, allowing petroleum engineers to characterize a reservoir and conduct economic evaluations of its potential.
“NMR is a technology of the future that we are introducing to a new generation of petroleum engineers“, said Dr. Sondergeld, who uses the instruments in petrophysics and reservoir mechanics courses, as well as for conducting research. “It is absolutely essential that we focus on exposing our undergraduates to this technology and give them hands on experience so they can bring this knowledge with them when they are employed in industry. NMR provides more accurate information, potentially allowing oil companies to produce oil and gas more efficiently.”
Students use the MARAN Ultra instruments to run a series of experiments on rocks to obtain measurements of porosity, capillary bound fluid, free or producible fluid, and pore body distribution and size. The instrument runs at the same frequency as downhole NMR logging tools (2MHz), so information from core measurements is directly applicable to the interpretation of downhole logs. In addition, the instrument is being used in research establishing a framework for interpretation of NMR in shale reservoirs.
The MARAN Ultra is a versatile, low cost benchtop imaging system now available with a graphic user interface to facilitate image acquisition. The system can be used to conduct a wide variety of MRI and bulk NMR experiments and is specifically designed for research use. Depending on individual user requirements, the modular design of the MARAN Ultra allows for various configuration options and therefore offers outstanding functionality.
The MARAN Ultra has been designed to offer flexibility to the research user of low-field NMR. Its real-time interactive software puts full power into the hands of the expert user. Real-time signals can be observed on the analyzer’s PC monitor while acquisition parameters are adjusted “on the fly”, and parameter sets can be saved and recalled.
The MARAN Ultra is able to collect large data sets, useful for accurate T2 determinations, especially where multiple T2s may be present. Sets of measurements using different parameters can be sequenced through Visual Basic scripting without user intervention, using ActiveX™, from Excel, Matlab or similar programs.
Accessories such as bipolar pulsed field gradients are available for diffusion and profiling experiments. Optional liquid or gas-flow controlled variable sample temperature and multi-nuclear probes add to the Ultra’s research capabilities.

Published Date: 29 July 2010 Superconducting magnet ordersOxford Instruments has just received orders from two prestigious neutron scattering facilities: the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Department of Energy facilities, and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). These orders are for two high field superconducting magnets using Oxford Instruments’ helium recondensing cryostat technology. Recondensing cryostats use a cryocooler to capture evaporated gas and turn it back into liquid helium. Using recondensing technology considerably decreases the helium consumption of these magnets while enabling the stringent magnet designs required by neutron scattering applications.
In the past year, Oxford Instruments installed four similar systems in two other prestigious neutron scattering facilities, the ISIS Neutron Source (STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot) and the ILL neutron facility (Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble). ANSTO also installed one of Oxford Instruments’ compact SpectromagTM split pair magnet systems for small-angle neutron scattering (SANS).
Dr John Burgoyne, Manager of the Magnets Business Group at Oxford Instruments says: “We feel privileged to have been able to develop this product in close collaboration with world’s leading neutron scientists from ILL and ISIS. These further two orders demonstrate that this range of products is particularly well-suited to neutron scattering facilities. We are delighted to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge through innovation of class leading technology.” Published Date: 13 July 2010 Extensive Customer Support OfferingOxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT), leaders in producing systems and processes for etch, deposition and growth, has expanded its Customer Support offering with the introduction of a wide range of new services and products.

Published Date: 01 July 2010 Lifetime Achievement award for founders For the first time at the prestigious Oxfordshire Business awards, which have been going for 16 years, a Lifetime Achievement category was introduced and dedicated to Sir Martin and Lady Audrey Wood, co-founders of Oxford Instruments, for their work on the county’s business scene. The Woods built Oxford Instruments into a world-wide, high technology business, based on his invention of the world’s first superconducting magnet. Innovation has continued to drive the growth and success of the company. Sir Martin is now Honorary President of Oxford Instruments, but both he and his wife have encouraged and supported science based new business ventures, the awareness of science and local community projects since their retirement from the company. Sir Martin said: “This is a great surprise – I have received awards before but nothing like this.” Lady Wood added: “We have had tremendous opportunities and very good luck.”
Jonathan Flint, Chief Executive of Oxford Instruments, sent his congratulations “ Sir Martin and Lady Wood have made a significant contribution to business and science both locally and internationally. This Award is very well deserved.”
Published Date: 22 June 2010 Great energy savings with Dry Pump System UpgradeOxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT) has recently developed a new feature for use with its dry pumps, called N2 Standby Mode, which will save energy and nitrogen used by its plasma etch, deposition and growth systems. Previously, systems with dry pumps have had their nitrogen purge set continually at up to 35 litres per minute, but the nitrogen only needs to run at these levels when the chamber is running process gases.
OIPT’s newly introduced Dry Pump N2 Standby Mode will save up to 96% of nitrogen gas usage when in ‘standby’ mode compared to usage during processing. When the Systems are just pumping, on ‘idle’ or ‘standby’ mode, the nitrogen inlet to the dry pump can be controlled to reduce the amount of nitrogen entering the pump, while still continuing to purge the pump bearings. As well as benefiting the environment, this capability also offers significant cost reductions.
The pump can be set via Oxford Instruments’ PC2000 system software to run the preset flow of nitrogen for a set period prior to and after a process has completed its run, allowing all gases to be safely diluted and pumped away, before returning to the N2 Standby Mode. Initially this new capability can only be offered on systems configured with Adixen pumps. It is integrated as standard on new OIPT systems.
"Oxford Instruments was recently promoted to the FTSE Green Index and this new capability is just one of a number of initiatives we are undertaking to reduce our – and our customers’ – carbon footprint”, comments Mark Vosloo, OIPT Sales and Customer Support Director. “With the added benefit of reduced cost of ownership, this can only be a win-win situation for everyone. We pride ourselves on offering a long term commitment to our customers, giving them the assurance that we want to extend the life of OIPT tools and make them as environmentally friendly as possible."
