A
World Leader in Remanufactured Analytical Instruments,
Service, and Accessories
NMR Magnet In-House Services:
MR Resources maintains
a full machine shop and mechanical repair facility on premises for
your superconducting magnet. Services include coil removal and replacement,
leak testing, welding, re-dewaring magnet switch and heater replacement.
To keep your
cryogen costs down, and your system in operation you must keep your
magnet properly maintained. From replacing cracked O - rings to
complete cryostat overhauling, we have the expertise you need. NMR
magnet filling is available and is performed by experienced magnet
technicians. Maintenance and repair for super conducting magnets
- from repumping to complete overhauls.
Efficient
operation of your NMR facility begins with a knowledgeable and responsible
supplier of liquid helium and liquid nitrogen. MR Resources starts
where the others leave off, we have created a cryogenic distribution
system specifically for Magnetic Resonance Facilities. MR Resources
is the largest independent supplier of NMR cryogenics. We have a
proven track record of expert service across the United States.
MR Resources is fully
equipped, staffed and prepared to deal with any quenched magnet
situation. Quenches, although infrequent, create costly down time
and pose a serious impediment to your research.
The magnet of a spectrometer
is always at field. Strong fields are produced outside the magnet;
therefore, no movable metal objects should be allowed within 3 meters
of the instrument. Small, sharp metal objects flying towards the
magnet are highly dangerous. Larger objects (watch that floor polisher!)
are troublesome to scrape off the magnet, and can seriously damage
the magnet. Magnetic fields may affect heart pacemakers. Demand-type
pacemakers may be switched to basic rate pacing. Persons fitted
with pacemakers should not come closer than 3 m of the center of
the magnet.
The
following steps should be observed to avoid accidents:
Persons with heart
pacemakers or surgical implants must not enter.
Close to the magnets
loose metal objects may experience a strong pull and become projectiles.
Portable Metal Detector should be provided in each entrance lobby.
If an object sticks to the Metal Detector, it should be left outside
the laboratory.
Inside the laboratories,
non-magnetic tools and equipment should be used whenever possible.
Outside, all doors
not accessible by the footpath should be treated as if they are
inside the laboratory.
Common items which
should be left outside the laboratory include: Watches, credit
cards, bunches of keys, radios and portable 'phones, scissors
and small tools, pocket knives and steel toe-capped shoes.
