Bruker BioSpin announces on Wednesday that it has received an order from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) for 10 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers valued at close to $20 million, including Bruker's flagship 950 MHz superconducting NMR magnet. KAUST is a new graduate-level research university in Saudi Arabia, dedicated to inspiring a new age of scientific achievement and the realization of a vision of King Abdullah. The two-story, eight-ton 950 MHz magnet is the world's highest-field superconducting actively shielded high-resolution NMR magnet system. The heart of this 950 MHz NMR magnet is a proprietary coil set made of about 100 miles of superconducting wire which is producing a 22.3 Tesla magnetic field. The large magnet will allow scientists to investigate the structure of bio-molecules and study their interactions with greater resolution. __
