A new detector for NMR spectroscopy that uses high-temperature
superconducting technology has been introduced by Conductus of
Sunnyvale, CA, and Varian Associates of Palo Alto, CA. The detector,
SuperProton nmr, increases sensitivity by at least four times
over conventional probes, according to the companies. Conductus
is manufacturing the probes, which will be used with Varian's
NMR spectrometers such as the new Unity Inova line (SCAN 3/27/96).
