Quick and
simple upgrade
spinflex offers brand new pulsed ESR instruments in various frequency ranges: 2-6, 6-18, 32-38, and 92-96 GHz.
You can upgrade any existing CW ESR system to a new state-of-the-art pulsed ESR and ENDOR spectrometer.
The upgraded system retains the original CW ESR spectrometer capability, in which the CW and Pulsed system share the same magnet and are interchangeable with the flip of a button.
The upgrade allows you to improve research capability and pursue the most advanced pulsed ESR techniques available today.
Hardware
A. Microwave Bridge: spinflex offers several variants of microwave bridges, depending on the required frequency of operation.
B. Pulsed ESR spectrometer: The entire pulsed ESR spectrometer is conveniently housed in a single PC. It is based on an open architecture combining commercial and proprietary PC cards.

Software
spinflex software has been developed to support all levels of cutting-edge research and can be used by novices as well as the most advanced users. It is focused on the researcher and optimizes the researcher’s time while delivering the highest flexibility.
Our software allows you to control every parameter of your experiment. Set it, or step it, and run it as many times as you want. Save your desired configuration and setup to be used from that point onward.
With spinflex software, you get to benefit from years of experiments that were run with our systems by leveraging an extensive library of pre-configured and pre-defined experiments sets with tested scripts.
Can’t find the setup or experiment you are looking for? The software is flexible and our team is always willing to add more modules at no extra cost.

Our software allows you to control every parameter of your experiment. Set it, or step it, and run it as many times as you want. Save your desired configuration and setup to be used from that point onward.
The software supports many different types of pulsed ESR spectroscopy, with pre-programmed sequences, such as: One-pulse FID; Two-pulse Hahn echo; Three-pulse inversion recovery; Three- and Four-pulse DEER, Pulsed ENDOR, CPMG, electrically-detected magnetic resonance (EDMR), optically-detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), and more. The software also supports many pre-defined types of phase-cycling, such as CYCLOPS, +/-, as well as any user-defines phase cycling procedure with as many as 128 steps.
Arbitrary pulses and complex timing changes can be programed through MATLAB™ scripts. The software also supports the real-time processing of the acquired data through pre-configured or user defined MATLAB™ scripts.
