CIQTEK CAN400 NMR Spectrometer Becomes a Trusted Research Partner at China Pharmaceutical University Some NMR labs are busy. And then there are labs like the one at China Pharmaceutical University, where the instruments run around the clock, bookings stretch past midnight, and the sample queue fills every available slot. In that kind of environment, the instrument at the center of it all has to deliver. Clean spectra, day after day. No downtime. And it has to be simple enough for graduate students to run on their own during those late-night shifts. At China Pharmaceutical University (CPU), the CIQTEK CAN400 NMR spectrometer has met all of these demands. After nearly a year of continuous, high-volume operation, it has become a workhorse in the university's testing platform. It handles over 100 samples per day. It has maintained a zero-failure record. And perhaps most importantly, the researchers who rely on it say the data looks great. In this article, we will walk through how CPU selected the CAN400, how it has held up in one of the busiest academic NMR labs around, and why the day-to-day details matter just as much as the numbers on a spec sheet. Why NMR Spectroscopy Sits at the Heart of Pharmaceutical Research To understand why CPU needed a dependable NMR system, it helps to know what kind of institution this is. China Pharmaceutical University sits at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, along the Yangtze River in Nanjing. It was founded over eighty years ago, and it has built a reputation as one of the top schools for pharmaceutical research and education in China. The university's pharmacy program earned an A+ rating in China's most recent national discipline evaluation. Its medicinal chemistry program has been ranked first in China and third globally, with a long history of producing influential research in drug design, molecular synthesis, and bioactive compound modification. At the heart of all this is organic chemistry. Every new drug candidate starts as a molecule that someone has to design, synthesize, and then characterize. That is where NMR spectroscopy comes in. For medicinal chemists, NMR is not a nice-to-have tool. It is the primary method for confirming molecular structures, assessing purity, and collecting the analytical data that supports publications and patent filings. So it is no surprise that the NMR lab at CPU is one of the busiest places on campus. The spectrometers run twenty-four hours a day. Students and faculty carry NMR tubes in and out of the lab at all hours. For countless research projects, the NMR spectrum is the first real data point that tells a researcher whether their synthesis worked. It is the bridge between an idea and a verified result. Given this workload, the university needed an instrument that could keep up. Solid technical performance. Continuous operation without issues. And it had to be easy enough for anyone to use, from first-year grad students to senior faculty.  The College of Science building ...

CIQTEK, a global leader in precision measurement and advanced scientific instrumentation, announces that its EPR product line has reached a significant milestone: the 300th global delivery. The landmark 300th unit — a CIQTEK EPR300 Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer — has been officially delivered to Vanderbilt University in the United States, underscoring the growing global adoption of CIQTEK's EPR technology.   CIQTEK EPR Team at the EPR300 Installation Site   Inside Vanderbilt University — CIQTEK's EPR Technology Supports Advanced Research Founded in 1873 and located in Nashville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt University is a world-renowned private research university recognized for its strong academic and research excellence in chemistry, materials science, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology. The research group receiving the EPR300 — the 300th unit in the CIQTEK EPR series — is dedicated to cutting-edge investigations in bioinorganic chemistry and advanced molecular materials, demanding the highest standards in electron paramagnetic resonance technology. With its superior sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, the CIQTEK EPR300 provides the critical data foundation that drives the group’s advanced research forward. Performance That Speaks for Itself — Client Proactively Publishes Delivery News Following installation and commissioning, the EPR300's outstanding spectral quality and the professionalism of CIQTEK's engineering team exceeded the client’s expectations. The research group published a dedicated news article on its official platform, celebrating the installation and offering high praise for the EPR spectrometer. “The performance of the EPR300 has been truly impressive,” said Assistant Professor Mengshan Ye, a lead researcher in the group. “And the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by the installation engineers have given our entire team tremendous confidence.”   X-Band Continuous-Wave Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer The EPR300 leverages a state-of-the-art microwave system and ultra-high-performance signal processing unit to push detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio to unprecedented levels. Capable of precisely capturing and analyzing unpaired electron signals at extremely low spin concentrations, the EPR300 opens new methodological pathways for studying low-concentration free radicals and investigating the deep-level physical and chemical properties of metal ions and other microscopic systems. In addition, the EPR300 supports the upgrade to Q-band operation, enabling higher g-value resolution critical for detecting anisotropic samples. From life sciences and materials science to chemistry and physics, the EPR300 lays a robust experimental foundation for frontier research across multiple disciplines — empowering scientists to reach new milestones of discovery.   300 Deliveries and Counting ...

CIQTEKは先日、中国科学技術大学（USTC）にて2日間の集中トレーニングプログラムを修了しました。深い理論学習と実践的な演習を組み合わせることで、当社チームは60名近い研究者が電子顕微鏡を単に「使う」だけでなく、高度な半導体研究のために真に使いこなせるようになるよう支援しました。 テクノロジーと発見の間のギャップを埋める CIQTEKでは、ハイエンドの科学機器はそれを操作する人の腕次第でその真価を発揮すると考えています。最近、当社のカスタマーサクセスチームがUSTCの集積回路実験センターを訪問しました。私たちのミッションはシンプルでした。 走査型電子顕微鏡（SEM） そして、研究者たちが微細スケールの観察の限界を押し広げるために必要な実践的なスキルを提供する。 この「サービス第一」の取り組みには、約60名の学生と教職員が集まり、精密顕微鏡の世界を深く掘り下げた。 理論から実践へ 優れた実験は、「方法」の背後にある「理由」をしっかりと理解することから始まります。研修は、包括的な理論学習に続いて集中的なグループ演習を行うという二段階構成で行われました。 教室では、カスタマーサクセスマネージャーの張静が、複雑な概念を分かりやすく解説しました。講義では、電子ビームの基礎物理学から高度なパラメータ最適化まで、幅広い内容を網羅しました。 具体的には、以下の点に重点を置きました。 基本事項： SEMの仕組みとその主要な機能的応用について。 最適化： 主要なパラメータを微調整して、可能な限り鮮明なデータを取得する。 半導体フォーカス： 集積回路研究に特化した特性評価技術。 専門的な技術知識を簡略化することで、参加者全員が機器に触れる前に、確固たる基礎知識を身につけられるようにしました。 人間味あふれる実践的な指導 真の魔法は実習中に起こりました。マニュアルを読むことと実際にスキャンを実行することは全く別物だということは、私たちもよく分かっています。だからこそ、私たちのチームはラボに集まり、参加者同士が肩を並べて指導を行ったのです。 少人数制のワークショップでは、参加者にワークフロー全体を丁寧に説明しました。 サンプル準備： あらゆるスキャンを成功させるための、極めて重要な第一歩。 機械操作: CIQTEKのハードウェアインターフェースに慣れる。 画像解析： 目にしたものを解釈する方法を学ぶ。 トラブルシューティング: よくある問題をその場で特定し、解決する。 この�
