  • Page 7: Safety

    Safety Introduction In terms of safety the presence of a relatively strong magnet is what differentiates NMR spectrometers from most other laboratory equipment. When designing an NMR laboratory, or training personnel who will work in or around the laboratory, no other feature is of greater significance.
  • Page 8: What Is A Quench

    As every organization has its own policies and procedures, as well as varying laboratory layouts, an Emergency Plan should be individually defined for each laboratory as appropriate. Upon request Bruker can provide useful information on emergency planning. Fire Department Notification It is recommended that the magnet operator introduce the fire department and/or local authorities to the magnet site.
  • Page 9: Earthquake Safety

    If your area is regarded as an earthquake area there are several shock absorbing measures or riggings available to reduce the likelihood of damage during an earthquake. Please contact Bruker for more information on earthquake securing equipment. Country-specific Safety Regulations In addition to the above safety precautions, any country-specific safety regulations for operating NMR systems must be fulfilled.

  • Page 11: Magnet Access And Rigging

    Magnet Access and Rigging Introduction The magnet is very fragile, thus requires special consideration during delivery and movement to its final installation point. It can be like other components of the spectrometer system (console, BMPC, etc.) typically be removed from delivery trucks with forklift and be positioned in the NMR lab with a pallet jack.
  • Page 12: Equipment Requirements

    Magnet Access and Rigging 3.2.3 Equipment Requirements Small rigging devices can be used to off-load the magnet and other boxes. • Fork-lift: It may be feasible to use a fork-lift to pick the magnet and other boxes from the truck and lower it to a flat surface. •...
  • Page 13: Equipment Requirements

    Fixed Lifting Gantry (A-frame): If a hook can not be provided, the fixed lifting gantry may be used instead. Bruker can provide rigging equipment, such as Chain Hoist, Tripod or Gantry A-frame at many sites upon request. Checklist for Magnet Access and Rigging Determine if there is sufficient space in the drive way or parking for the forklift and for the delivery truck.

  • Page 15: Lab Requirements

    Lab Requirements Room Layout The Fourier system can be placed in to a small room area but certain requirements have to be met. There should be a clear path, free of obstacles, to bring in containers to service the magnet with liquid Nitrogen and Helium. The console can be placed close to the magnet but it is recommended that the work station should be placed a minimum distance away from the magnet.
  • Page 16: Checklist For Ceiling Height Requirements

    Lab Requirements 4.2.1 Checklist for Ceiling Height Requirements Determine if ceiling height is adequate for lifting the magnet into place in the NMR room. Determine if height is adequate for energizing based on type of transfer lines used. Determine if height above He transport dewar (for refilling) is adequate. Table 4.1: Minimum ceiling height checklist Footprint...

    NMR signals that appear on either side of a main signal peak. Normally spectrometers at a field of 300 MHz magnets, such as the Fourier normally do not require anti-vibration devices. In case this becomes necessary, Bruker Biospin offers vibration isolation devices. 4.6.1 Sources of Vibrations •...

  • Page 19: 16-2/3 Hz And 50/60 Hz Interference

    Lab Requirements • Field changes of between 0-5 mG, regardless of the gradient, are generally considered harmless for standard NMR work. Likewise with Ultra Shield magnets (only), field changes up to 10 mG are considered harmless. The effect of such changes would be observable in only the most critical of experiments such as NOE difference experiments.
  • Page 20: Reducing 16-2/3 Hz And 50/60 Hz Interference

    The general goal of reducing 16-2/3 and 50/60 Hz interference is to shield the source of the interference from the magnet system. Soft iron has been found to be effective in reflecting this interference, and thus providing an effective shield for the magnet. Bruker provides planning for shielding using various metals and shielding techniques, please contact your Bruker office for further information.
  • Page 21: Reducing Rf Interference

    NMR room with a Faraday cage is a possible solution, though having to take such measures is quite rare. When designing and manufacturing the Bruker BioSpin spectrometers, care is taken to provide adequate shielding and the instruments rarely suffer from interference in normal RF environments.
  • Page 22: Checklist For Emf Interference

    Lab Requirements 4.7.4 Checklist for EMF Interference Determine if any trains, Subways, Trams or assiated CD power lines are present within 150 meters from the magnet center. Determine if any mass spectrometers are located in the room or adjacent spaces. Measure DC EMF with fluxgate magnetometer.
  • Page 23: Checklist For Power Requirements

    Lab Requirements lengthened when a voltage stabilizer is used. Contact your local Bruker BioSpin office for more information on voltage stabilizers. • Where total interruption of power occurs frequently, you should consider installing a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) possibly linked to an automatic cut-in generator.
  • Page 24: Checklist For Utility Requirements

    Lab Requirements 4.9.1 Checklist for Utility Requirements Provision must be made for any additional electrical power requirements for extra equipment that will be installed. Additional electrical outlets are required for turbo-pumps and magnet power supply during installation and service. A voltage stabilizer must be available if the line voltage fluctuation exceeds -5% to +10%.
  • Page 25: Installation

    The spectrometer will arrive at the site in several boxes. The boxes must not be opened by the customer as this must be done by a Bruker BioSpin engineer. The commissioning of the magnet involves several stages as outlined in Table 5.1.

    If such a pump is available the customer must contact Bruker BioSpin to confirm its suitability. Where no such pump is available, it will be supplied by Bruker BioSpin.
  • Page 27: Checklist Of Installation Requirements

    Where possible the customer should provide a heat gun or powerful handheld air dryer (min. 800 W), a roughing pump (10 mbar) and a pair of insulated gloves. If those items can not be provided by the customer, then Bruker can provide them. Table 5.2: Installation requirement checklist B127527_00_03...
