The University of Nottingham awarded a contract to QuSpin Inc for the supply of third-generation triaxial zero ambient field optically pumped magnetometers, valued at AUD 103,720.

The procurement supports the university's Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC) in its ongoing development of optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography (OPM MEG) technology.

QuSpin has been a long-term collaborator with SPMIC over the past six years, working both as a formal project partner and in an informal trusted end-user/developer relationship.

This collaboration has led to QuSpin advancing its OPM technology across several generations with end-user input from SPMIC, while SPMIC has received OPMs tailored to the needs of its OPM MEG system.
