Tokyo, Japan, August 28: Varian, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VARI) today announced the introduction of its 400-MR magnetic
resonance spectrometer. This high performance NMR system gives non-
specialists access to state-of-the-art methods for molecular
characterization and quantitation. The compact footprint of the
400-MR makes it easier to accommodate in small analytical
laboratories in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical and academic
environments.
Through the latest release of Varian's MR
workstation software, now with local language support capability,
scientists can take advantage of a full suite of data processing and
acquisition tools. Complex data acquisition sequences, used to
gather detailed information about molecular structures or the
composition of mixtures, are available at the push of a button.
Varian's unique electronic architecture ensures reliable detection
and quantification of minor components in mixtures, cell extracts
for example, with minimal sample preparation.
"With the introduction of the 400-MR, Varian has
made highly informative NMR analyses routine for chemists in many
