CIQTEK Showcases Next-Gen NMR, EPR and Launches EPRMind at ENC 2026
CIQTEK Showcases Next-Gen NMR, EPR and Launches EPRMind at ENC 2026
April 17, 2026
CIQTEK made a strong and memorable appearance at the 67th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC 2026), held from April 12–16, 2026, in Asilomar, Pacific Grove, California.
Throughout the event, we welcomed a steady flow of researchers and industry experts to our Evergreen Suite, where we shared our latest developments in both EPR and NMR technologies.
From advanced instrumentation to AI-powered spectral analysis, and from technical discussions to cultural exchange, ENC 2026 became a key moment for presenting a broader, more complete picture of CIQTEK MR solutions to the U.S. community.
CIQTEK IN FULL SPIN: A Unique Evening Blending Science and Culture
On April 14, CIQTEK hosted a special evening event in the Evergreen Suite:
"CIQTEK IN FULL SPIN – Experience the Eastern Spin on Resonance."
Instead of a standard networking session, we created a more immersive and interactive experience by combining science with Eastern cultural elements.
The evening included:
A short MR-themed presentation
A traditional lion dance performance
Tea tasting
Interactive games such as pitch-pot (Touhu)
The suite quickly filled with guests, and the atmosphere stayed lively throughout the night. Visitors were not just watching but actively participating. From technical discussions to cultural interaction, the feedback consistently reflected curiosity, interest, and genuine appreciation.
Many attendees described it as one of the most refreshing and memorable moments of ENC 2026.
Engaging the MR Community with Both EPR and NMR Solutions
ENC is a core event for NMR professionals, and this year, CIQTEK brought not only EPR innovations but also clear and structured introductions to our NMR technologies and product capabilities.
Many NMR experts who visited our suite shared that this was their first in-depth exposure to CIQTEK's MR portfolio. Through face-to-face discussions and on-site explanations, we helped attendees better understand:
CIQTEK's approach to magnetic resonance instrumentation
Our expanding NMR capabilities and product roadmap
How EPR and NMR can complement each other in real research scenarios
These conversations helped reshape perceptions and sparked renewed interest in CIQTEK as a growing MR solution provider in the U.S. market.
Next Generation EPR with AI-Enhanced Processing
During the conference, CIQTEK Senior MR Solution Manager, Dr. Jeff Sun, presented:
"Next Generation EPR: Advanced X, Q, and W Band Instrumentation with AI Enhanced Spectral Processing."
The poster attracted strong attention and led to many in-depth technical discussions. Topics that resonated most with attendees included:
Multi-band EPR systems (X, Q, and W bands)
Instrument stability and performance optimization
AI-assisted spectral analysis workflows
It became a natural gathering point for researchers interested in improving both hardware performance and data interpretation efficiency.
Global Launch of EPRMind: AI Changing EPR Workflows
A major highlight of the evening was the global launch of EPRMind, CIQTEK's AI-powered EPR spectral analysis platform.
Presented by Dr. Jeff Sun, Dr. Eric Xu, and the MR team, EPRMind introduces a much faster and more efficient way to process EPR data, with capabilities such as:
One-click multi-component spectral analysis
Automatic fitting and assignment
Instant generation of publication-ready results
In a live demo, EPRMind completed the fitting of a complex multi-component spin trapping system in just over ten seconds.
This immediately caught the attention of experts on site. The speed and clarity of the results led to active discussions about how AI can significantly reduce analysis time and simplify workflows.
Looking Ahead: Growing Momentum for CIQTEK MR in the U.S.
ENC 2026 was not just a showcase. It was a meaningful step forward for CIQTEK in the U.S. market.
By presenting both EPR and NMR technologies together, and introducing tools like EPRMind, we offered a more complete view of what CIQTEK MR can bring to researchers.
More importantly, we built real connections, sparked new conversations, and created a stronger foundation for future collaboration.
With increasing recognition from both EPR and NMR communities, CIQTEK MR is gaining momentum in the United States. We are confident that our integrated solutions, continuous innovation, and close engagement with users will drive steady growth in the years ahead.
If you missed us at ENC 2026, we would be happy to continue the conversation. >> info.usa@ciqtek.com
Compatible with 300-600 MHz Magnet The solutions involve retaining the magnet while upgrading other modules to the latest designs, aiming to enhance instrument performance, extend service life, improve automation efficiency, and obtain professional services in a more cost-effective manner.
CIQTEK X-band pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR or ESR) spectrometer EPR100 supports both continuous-wave EPR and pulse EPR functions. In addition to supporting conventional continuous-wave EPR experiments, the EPR100 can also finely control and measure electron spin quantum states using specific pulse sequences. This enables pulse EPR tests such as T1, T2, ESEEM (electron spin echo envelope modulation), HYSCORE (hyperfine sublevel correlation), etc. The EPR100 instrument offers a comprehensive range of optional accessories, such as ENDOR, DEER, TR-EPR, and AWG modules, which fully meet the requirements of all current pulsed EPR experimental modes. When paired with a variable temperature system, it enables the detection of paramagnetic substances at ultralow temperatures. Pulsed EPR spectroscopy provides higher spectral resolution, revealing the hyperfine interactions between electrons and nuclei and delivering more detailed structural information. This capability is irreplaceable and crucial in scientific research areas such as materials science, biomolecular structure analysis, etc.
Compared with conventional X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), high-frequency EPR offers significant advantages and provides important capabilities across biological, chemical, and materials research. CIQTEK EPR-Q400 is a Q-band high-frequency pulse EPR spectrometer equipped with both continuous-wave (CW) and pulse EPR measurement modes (for CW-only experiments, the EPR-Q300 CW spectrometer is available). It supports variable-temperature experiments from 4 to 300 K. The EPR software platform is the same as the other CIQTEK X-band pulse spectrometers, making it simple and user-friendly.
The CIQTEK CAN600 is a next-generation intelligent liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer, featuring an ultra-shielded, ultra-homogeneous 600 MHz superconducting magnet, a modular integrated console, and high-sensitivity, fully automated tuning probes. The CAN600 features highly integrated transceiver RF channels, enabling multi-receiver experiments. Its novel design supports rapid tuning and shimming, significantly reducing the time required for experiment setup. Accessories such as the intelligent control touchscreen expand the system’s management, allowing users to monitor instrument status and control sample access directly via touch, enhancing the flexibility of NMR experiments. By combining high-performance hardware with intelligent software, CAN600 delivers a more reliable and user-friendly NMR platform for researchers.
