Günther-Laukien-Fund for Young Scientists
In celebration of the 100th birthday of our founder, Prof. Günther Laukien, Bruker announced the launch of the Günther-Laukien-Fund for Young Scientists. This award is specifically designed to encourage and support the scientific exploration and innovation of young scientists in the Technology Region Karlsruhe, Germany. With an annual volume of 20,000 EUR, the Günther-Laukien-Fund is dedicated to promoting research projects in the natural sciences. Multiple projects will be awarded every year, helping young researchers to enhance their knowledge, and providing them with the necessary resources to conduct their studies. At Bruker, we believe that innovation should always be grounded in a clearly defined societal benefit. Through the Günther-Laukien-Fund, we hope to inspire and support young scientists in their pursuit of groundbreaking scientific discoveries that will benefit society as a whole.
Collaborating for a Sustainable Future: Bruker and Dragonfly Energy Advance Battery Technology
As batteries become more sophisticated, the challenges associated with their development and optimization have become increasingly complex. To address these challenges, Dragonfly Energy Corporation , a US-based leader in lithium-ion deep cycle batteries, harnessed the power of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology.
Watch the interview with Vick Singh , Director of R&D Dragonfly Energy, to learn more.
To discuss this and other topics, meet us at booth 9-F61 of The Battery Show Europe 2024, on June 18-20, in Stuttgart, Germany.

Validation and Implementation of qNMR as Platform Methods of Oligonucleotides and Peptides
Tuesday, 18 June 2024, 17:00 CET
The content of peptides and oligonucleotides in a sample (solid or liquid) is of importance in many aspects. For peptides, traditional methods like Kjeldahl nitrogen determination, elementary analysis (EA), and amino acid analysis (AAA), require breaking down the protein at harsh conditions to determine the protein content. For oligonucleotides, one of the most widely used techniques for quantification is ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. This method requires time-consuming sample preparation and, due to uncertainties in the extinction coefficient, the accuracy of the method is negatively affected.
NMR spectroscopy is per definition quantitative and the application of quantitative NMR (qNMR) within small molecule analysis has been applied with success for decades.
Dr. Joan Malmstrøm ( Novo Nordisk ) and Victor Beaumont ( Bruker ) will discuss this and more in the free webinar "Validation and Implementation of qNMR as Platform Methods of Oligonucleotides and Peptides" on Tuesday, 18 June 2024, 17:00 CEST.
Collaboration Agreement between the University of Barcelona and Bruker BioSpin for Developing New Applications for the Pharmaceutical Industry at 1 GHz
We are pleased to announce a collaborative agreement with the Universitat de Barcelona to develop and demonstrate new or enhanced applications of NMR at 1 GHz for the pharmaceutical industry, especially in biologics and new drug modalities. The University of Barcelona installed in 2022 the first Avance Evo 1 GHz NMR instrument in Europe and is part of the Spanish Singular Scientific and Technical Large Scale Facilities network. The collaboration includes the synthesis of model therapeutic oligonucleotides by Dr. Terraza’s group at the University of Barcelona. Other therapeutics of interest are monoclonal antibodies, RNA, oligonucleotides, and peptides. This responds to the need for improving product risk assurance and the encouragement by the regulatory authorities to use state-of-the-art technology, including NMR.
Integrated NMR Solutions Enabled by Software
Imagine a harmonized deployment of the same technology across a corporation where one could directly transfer methods from R&D instruments to the QC lab benchtop system without the need for separate validation steps. Would this save time and improve your overall productivity?
Find out in the interview with Dr. Verena Streitferdt , Laboratory Manager for NMR spectroscopy at BASF SE in Germany.

Theranostics: From Mice to Men and Back, a MOLECUBES Webinar
Tuesday, 18 June 2024, 16:00 CET
The theranostic approach combines targeted therapy and diagnostic imaging. It represents a precision medicine approach relying on a specific targeted diagnostic test that helps to select patients for a specific targeted therapy. Molecular imaging in nuclear medicine combines imaging modalities like PET and SPECT with computed tomography (CT) or magnet resonance tomography to derive detailed information on disease. In the clinic, molecular imaging is mainly used for diagnosis, staging, monitoring response to therapy, and selecting patients. Diagnostic imaging can identify those patients who are positive or negative for a target out of a larger population. Subsequently, the patients who are positive can continue with targeted therapy, and patients who are negative can receive conventional therapy. Using preclinical imaging we can learn about targets, (the choice of) ligands, (potentially) which radioisotope to use best, and tumor biology, which is important for effective theranostics.
Prof. Dr. Ken Herrmann ( Universitätsmedizin Essen ), Prof. Dr. Katharina Lückerath ( University Hospital Essen ) will discuss this and more in the free webinar "Theranostics: From Mice to Men and Back, a MOLECUBES NV Webinar" on Tuesday, 18 June 2024, 16:00 CET
Installation & Training of the Bruker Albira Si PET/SPECT/CT at LANAIP - CNEA Ezeiza
Congratulations to the team at the LANAIP ("Laboratorio Nacional de Imagenología Preclínica") - CNEA Ezeiza on their recent installation and training of the Bruker Albira Si PET/SPECT/CT. The team is excited to offer this tool to the entire Argentinian scientific community to evaluate novel radiotracers for diagnosis and therapy.

Uncovering the Truth: Wine Analysis with Next-Generation NMR Screening
Wine allows us to experience the complexity of nature. The ability to deduce the grape, growing region or vintage simply from experiencing the taste and smell is an extremely difficult discipline. Generally speaking, consumers don't rely solely on their own judgment of taste but they place their trust in high-quality products and manufacturer information. In this short interview, Dr. Manfred Spraul tells us about how wine profiling provides a variety of quality and safety-relevant parameters using a single measurement in just a few minutes, and what new possibilities for quality analysis are offered by NMR spectroscopy.
