Specializing in Bruker and Varian/Agilent NMR Spectrometers
Welcome to MR Resources, the leader and innovator in top quality, low cost solutions for the NMR industry. Now in its fourth decade, our focus remains solely on providing instrumentation, servicing and support to users of NMR spectrometers.
Our products and services include a comprehensive range of reconditioned NMR spectrometers, probes, repair services, moving services, and cryogen filling. Additionally, we offer a full line of accessory products including spare parts, consoles, probes, magnets and sample changers for both Agilent/Varian and Bruker NMR systems. Our latest lineup also includes a series of powerful bench-top NMR analyzers.
NMR spectroscopists worldwide in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech industries, academic institutions as well as numerous other industries count on MR Resources for all of their NMR needs.
MR Resources maintains a large inventory of probes and equipment. Not only do we market all brands of probes, we can perform modifications at very attractive prices. MR resources also repairs most major brands of probes. Let us provide you with a quote today. We maintain a large supply of probes in stock for immediate delivery.
MR Resources offers a variety of service agreements to protect your NMR, related equipment and parts. For the ultimate in protection, consider an annual service agreement. We offer initial system check-out and repair, periodic on-site inspection, cryogen filling and of course guaranteed service when you need it.
If the magnet is not filled in the proper manner it will quench causing significant "down time" for your lab, not to mention the exorbitant costs associated with bringing the magnet back up to field. 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.
When installing a new NMR many factors must be considered. The weight of an instrument is in the order of several tons and requires that it be placed in an area with substantial structural support. If the structural support includes steel beams or steel reinforced concrete, these ferromagnetic materials may have an effect on the magnetic field. The device should not be located near sources of RF such as heavy motors or relays. Personnel must be instructed on the hazards associated with an NMR unit.
MR Resources and Q.One Americas are pleased to continue our sponsorship of IVAN, an international organization now directed towards NMR users of all vendors’ instruments.
The purpose of the IVAN user group is to inspire interactive information exchange through on-line and face-to-face meetings of users. We wish to provide a much-needed home base and platform for meetings, communications and other activities of all NMR owners, managers and users.
IVAN was founded in October 2016 with sponsorship from MR Resources in a meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. Our original purpose was to facilitate communication and on-going technical support for the Varian/Agilent community. In the four years since 2016, we have sponsored a user meeting on the Saturday before each Experimental NMR Conference. MR Resources and IVAN are not affiliated with Agilent Technologies, Inc. and Varian, Inc. in any way.
As we all know, in October 2014 Agilent Technologies Inc, owner of the former NMR division of Varian, Inc., exited the NMR business. In the years since, MR Resources has greatly increased its service and support commitment to Varian/Agilent NMR owners and users and has welcomed many new customers. MR Resources has long been the NMR industries’ ”go-to” for high-quality, reconditioned NMR Systems, repair services and spare parts. More recently, Q.One Americas was founded to offer the new line of Q.One Instruments’ NMR spectrometers and console upgrades, with frequencies from 300 MHz to 600 MHz.
With our March 2020 ENC meeting IVAN expanded its focus to users of all vendors’ equipment with the addition of two workshops of general NMR interest, one about QNMR and the other about Metabolomics. We had a great user meeting, but as we all know, the 2020 ENC was cut short by the COVID travel ban. The fate of future in-person meetings continues to be in doubt.

Membership in IVAN is available to all NMR spectrometer owners and interested users, independent of your service plan or status as a MR Resources customer. There is no charge to become a member or to participate in meetings and activities. MR Resources and Q.One Americas intend their own commercial involvement in the user group to be low key. The success of the IVAN user group depends upon the activities of its members. The role of MR Resources and Q.One Americas is to provide a home for meetings and communication. An email link is available on the membership form to contact us directly with questions about membership.
The on-going objectives for IVAN will be those of its users to enhance the usefulness of their NMR systems, extend the lifetime of the instruments, and to keep them running properly.
