The Company
Founded in 2004, Magritek is an advanced technology company exporting from New Zealand to customers all over the world. The initial technology and IP used in Magritek products was developed by research teams at both Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington. Today Magritek provides complete NMR and MRI system solutions for industrial applications as well as components and subsystems suitable for research laboratories. The company has joint products and development projects with other leading technology companies such as ACT in Aachen Germany. Magritek is headquartered in Wellington, New Zealand.
The Technology
Most of us are familiar with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, through the medical imaging systems seen in hospitals. These powerful systems take high resolution images of the internal structures of the body and provide invaluable information for patient diagnosis. (The other term Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or NMR refers to the broader field of physics that underpins MRI and is the name used for more general spectroscopy applications where imaging is not involved)
Magritek designs and builds compact instruments that use these same sophisticated NMR and MRI methods, but now to look inside a range of other items such as rocks, living plants, paintings, and foods such as chocolate or seeds.
As an example - our recently introduced Rock Core Analyzer uses NMR to look inside rocks and measure the fluid content of a rock sample - typically from oil fields. The measurements provide detailed information on the size of pores and of the motion of the fluid through the rock.
The Magritek/ACT single sided NMR MOUSE allows us to look inside paintings at the layers beneath the surface.
By making our instruments compact and robust they can be used for making measurements in harsh environments.
The Magritek Terranova-MRI teaching system is widely used in teaching labs around the world to give new generations of students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals NMR and MRI in a practical hands-on manner.
If you would like to learn more about the basics of NMR and MRI an excellent starting point is the set of ten short videos by Sir Paul Callaghan viewable online here. For further detail and links on NMR and MRI go to our Science Page
