Bruker wins $6M+ NMR systems order from UC Berkeley

Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) has received a multi-system order from the University of California, Berkeley, valued at more than $6 million, for high-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) instrumentation at the Pines Magnetic Resonance Center (PMRC). Delivery is expected in 2027.

The order centers on a Bruker AV NEO-X 800 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryogenically cooled MAS CryoProbe, along with several additional NMR systems and upgrades supporting solid-state, solution-state, and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) research.

The PMRC is a shared NMR facility that provides around-the-clock access to researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. The new instrumentation will support research in chemistry, materials science, structural biology, and related fields across UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Professor Tatyana Polenova, Director of the Pines Magnetic Resonance Center, said the expansion would integrate next-generation NMR and DNP with methodologies including fast magic-angle spinning, MAS CryoProbes, computational analysis, and quantum sensing to address structural and mechanistic questions across systems such as intact cells, macromolecular assemblies, and materials at interfaces.

Dr. Patrick Wikus, Head of Product Management at Bruker BioSpin, said the AV NEO-X platform provides a foundation for advanced NMR experiments while supporting reliable day-to-day operation.
