Dear AMMRL Members,

=20

We would like to purchase a new or used 300 MHz console for animal
MRI/NMR research. We have a 7.0T/210mm Magnex magnet, Magnex 120 mm
shielded gradients, a CPC 1 kW 1H RF amplifier, a Copley 256 gradient
amplifier rack and a RRI shim power supply. We need the digital and
low-level RF components to complete this system. Possible consoles
include new or used Bruker Avance DBX and Varian Inova and MRI consoles,
as well as similar products from other vendors.

            We have the following equipment to trade in toward the
purchase of the 300 MHz console:

=20

1.	A complete 1.9T / 310 mm Bruker ABX Biospec MRI, including
Oxford magnet, Bruker BGA20 gradients, Bruker console and several Bruker
coils=20
2.	A GE Signa console customized for preclinical (animal) MRI.=20
3.	Other MRI/NMR hardware and spare parts, including two Wavetek
sweep generators, nine Techron 8607 gradient amplifiers and numerous
spare parts for the GE Signa console.=20

=20

We are also interested in the possibility of trading our (unshielded)
Magnex 7T / 210mm magnet for a new or used shielded 9.4T / 210mm or
11.7T / 210mm magnet. The trade in could also include any of the
hardware described above. We would then also need to buy a suitable 400
MHz or 500 MHz MRI/NMR console in lieu of the 300 MHz console. I would
appreciate your suggestions on how to conduct this trade so that NIH
gets the best animal MRI system for the least cost.

                        Best regards,

=20
