EPR Fundamentals in Practice: Insights from Penn State's Biological EPR Workshop Electron Paramagnetic Resonance is a powerful technique for studying radicals, transition metals, and other paramagnetic systems in research settings. Understanding the Basics of EPR Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) detects paramagnetic species, including radicals and systems with unpaired electrons. By applying a magnetic field and microwave radiation, researchers can observe resonance conditions that reveal information about a sample's electronic environment. A recent educational poster created for the Penn State Biological EPR Workshop provides a helpful overview of core EPR principles and practical experimental considerations. The poster also features the Magnettech...

Understanding Gamma Ray Spectrum Core Loggers We are focusing on the gamma ray spectrum core loggers—who uses them, how they work, and why they matter. This overview is valuable if you are looking to expand your knowledge about these specialized instruments and their applications. Let’s begin... What is a Gamma Ray Spectrum Core Logger? A gamma ray spectrum core logger is a type of radiation detector that measures and analyzes natural gamma radiation from potassium (K), thorium (Th), and uranium (U). These radioactive materials fall under the acronym NORM—Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material. The data collected can be used to both...
