Can you run a pumped NMR magnet system in a closed loop? Thanks to the Cryomech HeRL02‑RM, the answer is a resounding yes. On June 10, 2025, The Ohio State University successfully commissioned a Cryomech helium reliquefier for their Bruker UltraStabilized 800 MHz NMR system—a pumped magnet operating at the cutting edge of spectroscopy. With the HeRL02-RM Ohio State can now recycle 100% of their helium, eliminating boil-off and drastically reducing operational costs and supply risk. This installation demonstrates that closed-loop helium recovery is not only possible for 2 K magnets, it’s also practical and reliable. “Our collaboration with Bluefors began in 2023 with our 600 MHz reliquefier,” Dr. Alex Hansen from OSU explains. “We were so impressed that we pushed them to develop a solution for our pumped magnets, which represented over 80% of our helium consumption. The Bluefors team was incredibly diligent, demonstrating a level of expertise on par with the magnet’s original engineers. “The result is transformative. The solution eliminates the need for the enormous gas bag and a host of support equipment, freeing our staff from the daily logistics of helium transfers to focus on research. Financially, this system is so affordable it will pay for itself in just a few years, finally delivering the sustainable solution our community has needed. We are eager to continue this partnership as we move to equip our next systems.” At Bluefors, we’d like to extend our thanks to Dr. Alex Hansen and the entire NMR Lab team at Ohio State University for their vision and collaboration. Their leadership ensures that cutting-edge research continues without compromise—and without waste.

Next week, we’re heading to Australia for ANZMAG 2025! The 14th biennial conference of the Australia and New Zealand Society for Magnetic Resonance brings together researchers to explore wide range of topics in magnetic resonance, from liquid and solid-state NMR spectroscopy to DNP, MRI/imaging, diffusion, EPR, and advances in theory and method development. We’re teaming up with FABRUM. to showcase our solutions for helium management in NMR systems. Don’t miss our joint workshop on Wednesday at 4 pm, presented by Nigel Ottman (OEM Manager) and Nigel Bartlett (VP Cryogenics, FABRUM.). Discover how NMR systems can become closed-loop with the Cryomech HeRL02-RM, and learn how helium management can be simplified while conserving this precious resource.

Check out this stunning LD installation at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen! These two Gen. 2 LD Systems are now powering research at the Superconducting Quantum Optics Lab, led by Assistant Professor Shingo Kono. As part of the NNF Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP), the team is exploring hybrid quantum platforms based on superconducting circuits, combining the strengths of distinct quantum systems to push scalability and high fidelity in the next generation of quantum computing. Their work focuses on novel quantum protocols and systems, including studies of quantum decoherence mechanisms, development of broadband quantum-limited Josephson parametric amplifiers, and integration of superconducting circuits with mechanical membranes and magnetic crystals—enabling long-lived quantum memories and nonreciprocal quantum devices. By connecting unique functionalities across modules and units, superconducting quantum processors gain new capabilities that enhance speed, fidelity, and scalability, paving the way toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing. We’re thrilled to see our Gen. 2 LD Systems supporting such groundbreaking research. Wishing the team great success as they explore new frontiers in hybrid quantum platforms! #quantumcomputing #quantumtechnology #cryogenics #CoolForProgress
