Returning to ENC with innovation, collaboration, and next-generation NMR technology
Stelar SRL participated in the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Conference (ENC) 2026, a key international event for the NMR community.
The conference represented an important opportunity to present Stelar’s latest developments in variable-field NMR technology, including the official launch of the new 3Tracer 2.0 system, alongside scientific posters and a strong collaboration with long-time partner HTS-110.
Launch of 3Tracer 2.0: A New Milestone in NMR
A major highlight of ENC 2026 was the presentation of the 3Tracer 2.0, the latest evolution of Stelar’s variable-field, cryogen-free superconducting magnet engineered to extend the upper field range for NMRD profile acquisition up to 130 MHz.
The new system introduces a new level of integration, usability, and compact design in high-precision NMR instrumentation.
Key features of 3Tracer 2.0:
• Same 3T field range
• Same <50 ppm uniformity in a compact benchtop unit
• Only 56 kg with minimal footprint
• Fully integrated system: cryocooler, vacuum pump, and protection electronics
• Maintenance-free cooling
• 600W power, air cooled
The system can be integrated with Stelar SPINMASTER or SMARtracer™ systems, or operated independently using the Storm6 PC-NMR workstation.
Scientific Contributions: Poster Presentations
During ENC 2026, Stelar also presented two scientific posters developed by our engineers in collaboration with the group of Pedro Sebastião (Universidade de Lisboa):
- Real-Time Multi-Exponential Component Analysis in TD and FFC NMR Relaxometry
- Real-Time Noise Bias Compensation in Magnitude-Accumulated TD and FFC-NMR Relaxometry
The posters were presented by Dr. Manoj Nimbalkar and Dr. Donald Pooke, who engaged with attendees on methodologies, results, and potential applications.
Collaboration with HTS-110
Stelar shared its exhibition space with long-standing partner HTS-110, reinforcing a strong collaboration in superconducting and cryogenic technologies.
This partnership continues to support the development of advanced NMR instrumentation and variable-field magnetic systems for research applications.
Stelar’s participation in the Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Conference 2026 highlighted both technological innovation and scientific collaboration.
The launch of 3Tracer 2.0, together with new advances in NMR relaxometry and data analysis, reinforces Stelar’s commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions for the global NMR community.
