Josef Dadok National NMR Centre installed a nitrogen liquification unit for its 850 MHz NMR spectrometer

The liquification unit called BSNL (Bruker Smart Nitrogen Liquefier) uses an excess cooling capacity of the cryogenic probe system to liquify and recycle the nitrogen evaporating from the magnet. The nitrogen refill interval is thus extended from 2-3 weeks to more than 6 months.

Summer newsletter 2020. Special Issue: structural biology in the fight against COVID-19

The coronavirus pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world. At the frontline of COVID-19 research efforts, structural biologists have been working to determine the structure and mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 and identify targets for therapeutics and vaccines.

Despite immense pressure and challenging working conditions, the scientific community has shown resilience and determination, collaborating with colleagues across the world to deliver vital research quickly and safely. At Instruct Centres, scientists have been working within local guidelines to mobilise resources and support vital COVID research.

Instruct-ERIC continues to work closely with life science communities in Europe and beyond, supporting researchers in their efforts to study the virus.
