What's Happening?
Stelar s.r.l. and HTS-110 have announced the global launch of the 3Tracer HF Relaxometer 2.0, a next-generation Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion (NMRD) system. This new system brings high-field metrology directly to laboratory benchtops, allowing
researchers to vary magnetic fields in a controlled manner and measure relaxation from 10 kHz to 128 MHz. This capability aligns with the field strengths of modern clinical MRI scanners, providing a comprehensive NMRD profile across various fields. The 3Tracer 2.0 is designed to be compact and energy-efficient, operating on standard single-phase power and requiring no cryogenic liquids or facility water. It integrates with Stelar’s Storm6 analysis software, enhancing usability and accessibility for researchers.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of the 3Tracer 2.0 is significant for scientific research, as it democratizes access to advanced NMRD capabilities. By eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure and reducing power consumption, this system allows more laboratories to conduct high-level research without the logistical challenges of traditional NMR setups. This could accelerate advancements in fields such as biomedical research, battery technology, and food quality control. The system's ease of use and integration into existing laboratory environments could lead to broader adoption and innovation across various scientific domains.
What's Next?
The 3Tracer 2.0 is available for immediate order, with first deliveries expected in late 2026. It will be showcased at scientific conferences globally, including the 14th FFC Conference in Paris. As the system becomes more widely available, it is likely to be adopted by research institutions seeking to enhance their NMRD capabilities. This could lead to increased collaboration and innovation in fields that rely on precise molecular analysis.
