1 Introduction
This manual contains information about site planning and preparation prior to delivery of a
Bruker AVANCE NEO system. The manual should be read through carefully as mistakes
made initially may be costly to remedy at a later stage.
The systems covered by this manual are AVANCE NEO spectrometers in the range of
300-800 MHz.
The chapters within this manual deal with various points that need to be considered for suc-
cessful system operation. They have been included to familiarize you with general principles
of successful site planning. For specific questions that may not be addressed in this manual,
or for further information on a topic, do not hesitate to contact your local Bruker office. Please
also review the Installation Questionaire at the end of the manual.
Recommendations regarding site planning are based on the experience gained by Bruker
BioSpin engineers through the years. Every effort has been made to make the site
requirements realistic and readily achievable. It must be stressed however, that the figures
quoted are only recommendations. Likewise, any performance values that are used are
minimum values that should be readily achievable by every system. Predicting NMR
performance is complicated by the fact that every site is unique. This manual has been
written to help you plan the site, but it carries no guarantee of ultimate NMR performance.
While every effort has been made to ensure the information contained herein is accurate,
Bruker BioSpin accepts no liability for consequential loss or damage arising from its use.
Specifications are subject to change without notice and where a value (e.g., ceiling height)
lies close to a recommended minimum value you are advised to check with Bruker BioSpin
before final delivery.
1.1 Units Used Within This Manual
The SI Unit Tesla (mT) is used throughout this manual whenever magnetic field strengths are
discussed. Some readers may however be more familiar with the Gauss (G) Unit.
For comparison the conversion fact is: 1 mT=10 G
Likewise the unit kilowatt is used for the measure of heat energy (e.g. amount of heat gener-
ated by a device per hour). Some readers may be more familiar with these measurements in
BTU/hour:
For comparison the conversion factor is: 1 BTU/hour=0.000293 kW.
(BTU = British Thermal Unit which is the required heat to raise 1 pound of H
2
O by 1 degree
Fahrenheit).
