The Bruker EMXplus Spectrometer System uses EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) which is a very useful and powerful technique for studying samples that are paramagnetic (i.e. have unpaired electrons). Applications of EPR include:
- Kinetics of radical reactions
- Redox processes
- Metal ions
- Defects in crystals
- Polymer properties
- Effects of ionizing radiation
- Spin labeling and spin trapping
- Antioxidants
- Enzyme and carcinogenic reactions
- and many more
