ELEXSYS-II E500 CW-EPR

Ultimate sensitivity in CW-EPR - SuperX: an ELEXSYS-II feature for the ultimate sensitivity in CW-EPR

The X-Band ELEXSYS-II instruments are equipped with the SuperX feature and the new signal processing unit (SPU). SuperX comprises a selected high-power, ultra-low-noise Dual Gunn source, and the super-high-Q cavity.
 
The combination of these devices has resulted in an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity for CW-EPR in X-band. For the traditional sensitivity measurement, we specify a weak-pitch signal-to-noise of 3000:1 for the E500 CW-EPR spectrometer.

The SPU is a highly integrated device taking care of all acquisition modes in modern CW-EPR. With a total of 8 signal input channels and various trigger modes, even experiments that are not part of the standard EPR repertoire can be mastered.

One demonstration of the improvement in sensitivity with the SuperX system is shown here for spectra obtained from a Cu²⁺ Histidine in a standard cavity (left) and with the SuperX system (right). What appeared as a weak and uninformative spectrum with the standard cavity is a clear and well-resolved spectrum with the new SuperX system.

EPR in Material Science and Physics

Within the areas of physics and material science there are many topics of interest. EPR can be employed to investigate polymer synthesis and degradation, paint properties, testing the purity and stability of photovoltaics, semiconductors, batteries as well as carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, information can be gained about the coordination environment of transition metals, rare-earth and actinide ions.

EPR in Life Science

EPR in Life Science

EPR is a powerful tool in the field of life sciences. EPR provides insight into the structure, function and reaction mechanisms of enzymes, membrane proteins, RNA/DNA, and for characterization/screening of DNP agents. Using spin-labeled biomacromolecules enables you to study their structure and dynamics. EPR detects and quantifies reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) including nitric oxide.
