MRI Upgrade Program
Overview
The Right Upgrade Option for You
Joining the AVANCE Track is fast and simple. Existing Bruker customers will appreciate the streamlined procedure that expedites the upgrade process, while owners of MRI instruments from other vendors, such as Agilent, will value the individual attention to their particular needs.
For Owners of Other Vendor Instruments
For owners of other vendor instruments, the upgrade process starts with an onsite survey by a skilled engineer, who will analyze the current configuration of your instrument. Based on this information, upgrade alternatives that suit your instrument are provided and you have the flexibility to define the elements of your AVANCE track that meet your scientific and budget requirements, since potential options are clear and transparent. Once you have specified your configuration, service engineers will implement the conversion, letting you unleash the power of your rejuvenated instrument.
For Existing Bruker Customers
Existing Bruker customers have the possibility to maintain state-of-the-art technology by upgrading to AVANCE NEO electronics with ParaVision 360 software. According to the current instrument configuration, individual upgrade options containing components such as shim, gradient, and AVANCE NEO console upgrades are delineated. This makes the step to AVANCE NEO and ParaVision 360 and the corresponding transformation to the software and hardware platform of the future a fast and easy procedure.
