9.4 T Bruker 30 cm AVANCE NEO
This small animal imaging system has two gradient systems providing for high performance imaging of both medium-sized and small animals. The high-power gradient amplifier and B-GA12S HP gradient insert enable 660 mT/m per axis and 4570 T/m/s slew rate for high resolution and fast imaging.
The system is multinuclear, has dual channel transmit and 4 receiver channels. A variety of coils including a 4-channel mouse brain array and a 4-channel rat brain array coil are available for optimized imaging.
