X-Spin is the next-generation NMR acquisition platform for our benchtop NMR spectroscopy systems. Combining an intuitive user experience with flexible method control, secure user management and automation support, X-Spin simplifies NMR workflows while improving productivity in both research and regulated laboratories.
Designed for use with X-Pulse and X-Pulse 90, X-Spin enables both routine analysis and advanced NMR applications through a modern, streamlined software experience.
Full control over all parameters
Pre-set parameters for fast analysis
Automated shim routines
Supports 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP
X-Spin puts the power of benchtop NMR into more hands without requiring every operator to become an NMR expert.
Preconfigured experiment parameters and automated shim routines simplify routine analysis, helping occasional users get started quickly. Experienced users retain control over acquisition parameters and can save and recall experimental methods, supporting consistent workflows and laboratory SOPs.
Less time learning software. More time getting answers.
Designed for both research and regulated environments, X-Spin simplifies experiment setup while providing the control and traceability required by modern laboratories. The software enables users of all experience levels to quickly acquire high-quality NMR data through pre-configured experiment parameters and automated shim routines, reducing training requirements and making benchtop NMR more accessible across the laboratory.
Experiment templates make it easier for all levels of users to acquire the same quality data; standardise procedures and routines in your lab; and save set-up time by saving and loading experiments.
Pre-set experiments take the guesswork out of setup enabling walk-up users to move quickly from samples to results
Our automatic shim routines optimise the line shape for standard samples as well as your own ensuring the best quality data every time. Tune and Match ensures the system is performing optimally for your sample.
Visual graphs as well as tolerance feedback for both tuning and matching mean all users can be confident that their X-Pulse is set-up correctly.
Increase productivity and maximise the value of your benchtop NMR system with automated, high-throughput sample analysis.
X-Spin integrates seamlessly with the X-Auto autosampler, enabling automated sample handling, queue management and unattended operation. By combining flexible experiment management with automation, laboratories can process more samples, reduce operator intervention and improve workflow efficiency while maintaining control and traceability.
Key benefits:
Increased throughput through automated batch analysis and queue management.
Unattended operation for routine and overnight measurements.
25-position autosampler compatible with standard 5 mm NMR tubes.
Greater laboratory efficiency without compromising compliance, control or data integrity.
X-Spin NMR software makes benchtop NMR simpler for every user, while giving regulated laboratories the control, traceability and data integrity they need. X-Spin provides secure user management, role-based access and comprehensive audit trails that automatically record user actions. The software is also designed to support laboratory qualification activities, including Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ), helping organisations implement NMR systems within established quality frameworks.
Track actions of all users as well authenticating exported data using audit trails.
IQ/OQ/PQ packages enable support for 21 CFR Part 11 workflows as well as GLP and GMP requirements.
Protect data and manage role abilities to ensure users have the permissions they need.
Using the X-Pulse 90 broadband benchtop NMR spectrometer and our new X-Spin data acquisition software, we demonstrate how to obtain NMR spectra of small molecule pharmaceuticals, quantify these active pharmaceutical ingredients and identify trace impurities. Also we show how X-Spin supports multi-user and regulated environments, with user control and audit trails.
X-Spin paired with X-Pulse allows battery researchers and manufacturers to characterise electrolytes, monitor degradation pathways, verify raw material purity and evaluate new formulations. Multinuclear NMR capabilities, including lithium analysis, provide valuable insight into electrolyte composition, transport properties and performance, helping accelerate battery development and manufacturing quality control.
In chemical manufacturing environments, X-Spin with X-Pulse supports process development, reaction monitoring, raw material verification and routine quality control. Real-time analytical feedback enables optimisation of synthesis routes, improved product consistency and faster troubleshooting. Standardised methods, automation and secure data management help manufacturers increase efficiency while ensuring quality standards are maintained.
X-Spin and X-Pulse provide researchers with accessible, high-performance NMR for structural elucidation, reaction monitoring, compound verification and quantitative analysis. Broadband multinuclear capability supports a wide range of chemistry applications, from organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry to materials science, helping scientists generate reliable results directly at the laboratory bench.
Combined with the X-Pulse benchtop NMR spectrometer, X-Spin enables rapid structure confirmation, reaction monitoring, impurity identification and quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds. Secure workflows, audit trails and support for GLP, IQ/OQ/PQ and 21 CFR Part 11 help pharmaceutical laboratories accelerate development while maintaining data integrity and compliance.
One of the great strengths of NMR spectroscopy, is the range of pulse sequences available; with different pulse sequences allowing for different (often complementary) information to be obtained on a sample.
X-Pulse / X-Spin comes with a wide range of pulse sequences pre-programmed, these include, but are not limited to:
*available for all nuclei, with or without decoupling
