Top scientists spin to win
A piezo-controlled pressure regulating valve is helping chemists and physicists examine matter at atomic and subatomic level by controlling rotational speed in a nuclear magnetic resonance chamber built at Bruker BioSpin in
Non-destructive analysis of materials is a key technique for scientists working in a wide range of fields, with much of the current work being conducted at the atomic level. Bruker BioSpin have developed a system for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis in which a sample container, supported on an air bearing is turned using precision blasts of air.
During the design stages the Bruker engineers undertook an extensive search for a suitable high performance valve and found only one that met all their criteria, the Tecno proportional valve made by Hoerbiger-Origa.
