Cryogen Reclamation for NMR Superconducting Magnets Launched by JEOL 

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.  […]
