Overview of Services
Initially established as the Huck Institutes Magnetic Resonance Centre in 2005, the High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Facility consists of an Bruker 7 tesla Biospec ( AVANCE III HD) and an Agilent 14.1 tesla vertical microimaging sytem for in vivo imaging, MR microscopy, and MR spectroscopy.
Both systems have four receiver channels and can acquire X-nuclei signals.
Next to the scanner rooms are animal preparation suits. Each suite has a surgical area equipped with a Summit Anesthesia System, a down/back draft table, a fume hood, and a small animal monitoring system from SAII for ECG, breath, temperature, and blood oxygenation observations. Animal housing is available on the same floor as the MRI systems. Furthermore, we have access to a Bruker 850US 20 tesla system with one of the world's highest magnetic field strengths available to MRI.
The system is housed in the Lloyd Jackman Laboratory in the Chemistry Department. An electronics suite (right now in a restructuring process) is also available to create the optimal RF resonator for each project.
