ENDOR spectroscopy is a powerful method to characterize hyperfine couplings in paramagnetic species. The information that can be obtained by this experiment is often complimentary to parameters determined in an ESEEM or HYSCORE experiment.
EDNOR Extension
The Bridge12 ENDOR Extension to the X-Band IF system is a compact module to extend the system to perform pulsed ENDOR spectroscopy. The system has a compact footprint of just 13.4 in. by 12.5 in., which includes already the integrated 150 W RF amplifier (options for higher power available). The system is fully compatible with SpecMan4EPR.
AWG Pulses for ENDOR
Traditionally, RF pulses in ENDOR spectroscopy are created using an RF synthesizer and pin diode switches. However, using modern RF technology, our ENDOR extension uses an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) to create pulses. This allows the user to create shaped RF pulses just like it is done in modern NMR spectroscopy.
