Liquid helium and nitrogen can be expensive ingredients for cooling the superconducting magnet in many nuclear magnetic resonance systems. The volatile elements are prone to evaporating away and requiring replenishment to maintain optimal performance of the instrument. Sometimes the instruments have to be shut down while fresh cryogen supplies are sought. But reclaiming them can make a difference. […]
Two programs involving MagLab, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory headquartered at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, illustrate one of its unique capabilities — as a center of cutting-edge research for advancements in medicine and biotechnology. One program involves renewed funding from the National Institutes of Health for several efforts in nuclear magnetic resonance; the other an agreement for collaboration between MagCorp, an innovative new commercial partner with the lab, and medical equipment maker Philips seeking new breakthroughs in reduced-helium magnetic resonance imaging. […]
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has given clearance to a new, smaller magnetic resonance imaging scanner from Siemens Healthineers that employs the company’s technology to greatly reduce the amount of helium needed for cooling the magnet […]
By Jeremy Good, Managing Director | Cryogenic Ltd. Liquid helium has been a cornerstone of magnetics research for more than a century. The discovery of superconductivity in 1911 was only made possible by the first […]
