ARC Overburden Cell

Make Overburden studies routine

Oxford Instruments and Green Imaging Technologies offer a revolutionary new design of a NMR cell. overburden. The ARC Overburden Cell is the only overburden cell that is fully ]integrated with the NMR instrument and designed to maintain high data quality during overburden measurements.

For the first time, users will have a true “plug and play” solution for overburden studies.

The ARC cell takes full advantage of the industry leading performance of the GeoSpec2. The latest in a line of innovative software and hardware solutions developed by Oxford Instruments and Green Imaging, the ARC cell is the only pressure vessel specifically designed to work with Q-Sense technology, allowing for improved measurement of fluids in smaller pores.

Apply up to 5,000 psi of pressure to your cores while scanning them without sacrificing your NMR signal.

The revolutionary design of the ARC cell allows users to maintain pressure on the sample between studies, both inside and outside of the instrument.

For the first time, there is cell that is completely integrated with the NMR instrument:

  • Only overburden cell designed and built by an NMR instrument manufacturer
  • Fully integrated with the NMR instrument; the NMR coil is embedded in the cell
  • Compatible with powerful Q-Sense technology; allowing high SNR and short TAUs
  • Available for the MARAN, GeoSpec, and GeoSpec2 product lines



The ARC overburden cell design makes it the most user friendly cell on the market today:

  • Plug and play: easily swap samples or go from overburden to non-overburden
  • Quickly load/unload samples with the twist top design
  • Store samples in multiple cells at different pressures, outside the instrument
  • Pressure is maintained between scans; in and out of the instrument
  • Multiple cells can be used with a single instrument, or across multiple instruments
