Compact automatic ESR Spectrometer ESR 70-03 XD/2

UP «KBST» BGU enterprise produces ESR70-03 XD/2 electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer. This device imbodies many years’ experience ofBelarusStateUniversity in the field of EST spectrometers design.

Spectrometer is fully automated. Its technical parameters are comparable to parameters of big EST spectrometers. Embedded microprocessor performs microwave section matching automatically, ensuring high precision of microwave section tuning and  fast specter readout.

The spectrometer is meant for physicochemical research in the fields of science and technology. It can be used for handling of applied problems in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, petroleum chemistry, light and food industry, as well as for training workshops.

 

Function

  • For ESR researches and handling application problems in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, petrochemistry, light industry.
  • For training workshop conducting.
  • For carrying out express analysis of substances industrially, in laboratories, clinics.

Design features

The spectrometer is generally designed as monoblock unit. Such design makes it possible to place the device on any lab table and move it easily in case of necessity.

The resonator is made of M1 pure copper. Main coating is 999 silver, antioxidizing protective coating – 999 gold. Diameter of sample opening is11,2 mm, therefore test tubes up to8 mmdiameter can be used. Front opening in the resonator is meant for sample lighting (ray treatment).

Electromagnet is made of high quality electric steel. Magnetic enhancers (pole tips) are of 70mm diameter. High uniformity of magnet structure allows for the use of air cooling (magnetic field induction < 5000 Gs) and water cooling (magnetic field induction > 5000 Gs)

Microwave section is homodyne, with the use of balanced demodulator, p-i-n attenuator, Gunn diode microvave oscillator and automatic frequency control system.

Software functions

Software has simple user-friendly interface and allows for performing of all standard specter obtaining and processing functions. It is possible to display series of specters in one window to monitor reaction kinetics.

  • Complete automatic control of the spectrometer and peripherals.
  • Spectral line analysis.
  • Correction of resonator base line.
  • Spectrum fragmentation.
  • Spectrum integration and differentiation.
  • ESR-analyzer specialized marks mode.
  • Work with external programs of spectra imposture.

ESR Analysis application domains
