Bruker ELEXSYS E580 and E780 EPR Systems
The E780 is a 263 GHz (high frequency) EPR spectrometer which represents a cutting-edge turn-key technology for Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy. Additionally, E580 is equipped with a rapid scan attachment that allows a 10µs resolution of time lapse experiments and observation of changes in paramagnetic centers during reactions and live processes.
Both system provide capabilities of both pulse and continuous wave measurements. This allows for ESEEM, Pulse-ENDOR, Pulse-ELDOR DEER and HYSCORE for application in Life science, Material science and Quantum computing.
