NMR spectroscopy is one of the most useful analytical methods in modern chemistry. In fact, the first commercial spectrometers quickly became a key tool for research chemists after their creation in the 1950s.
However, full-size NMR spectrometers aren't always available when you need them. That's where NMR benchtop spectrometers come in.
Benchtop NMR spectrometers give you the ability to use NMR spectroscopy when and where you need it most whether it's in the field or in the lab. But it can be challenging to determine which benchtop spectrometer is best for you and your needs, especially when they have similar features.
What's the difference between an 60e and 60PRO? Here are some of the key differences between these two benchtop NMR spectrometers to give you a better idea of which spectrometer is right for you.
60e
The 60e is a market-leading compact, single-channel NMR spectrometer. It’s used to acquire proton NMR data only. It's lightweight at just 55 pounds and makes for a great training tool in the classroom. Many professors use 60e as a way to teach NMR and empower their students to develop the experimental skills they'll need as research chemists.
The 60e allows you to incorporate hands-on access and learning to NMR directly in your laboratory class. The NMReady-60e offers fast data acquisition in as little as four seconds and enables students to prepare samples, load and manipulate parameters, and personally acquire and process NMR spectra.
It also is an affordable, accessible, easy-to-use, high-sensitivity QA/QC tool for industrial analysis.
60PRO
The 60PRO is a factory dual-tuned spectrometer that's capable of acquiring spectra for two conventional spin active nuclei - most commonly 1H/13C, 1H/19F and 1H/31P. This enhances the spectrometer's utility for characterizing a wide array of natural and synthetic complexes.
Like the 60e, the 60PRO is quick and easy to use while allowing the user to load and customize pre-existing NMR experiments. Both benchtop NMR compact, portable, energy-efficient, safe, low maintenance, and user-friendly.
The 60PRO is typically used to improve accessibility to NMR spectroscopy, thereby improving workflow and increasing research productivity when it's incorporated into a laboratory management system. Its accessible and secure data system also makes it easier for the workplace to maintain information security.
