CIQTEK made a strong and memorable appearance at the 67th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference (ENC 2026), held from April 12–16, 2026, in Asilomar, Pacific Grove, California.
Throughout the event, we welcomed a steady flow of researchers and industry experts to our Evergreen Suite, where we shared our latest developments in both EPR and NMR technologies.
From advanced instrumentation to AI-powered spectral analysis, and from technical discussions to cultural exchange, ENC 2026 became a key moment for presenting a broader, more complete picture of CIQTEK MR solutions to the U.S. community.
CIQTEK IN FULL SPIN: A Unique Evening Blending Science and Culture
On April 14, CIQTEK hosted a special evening event in the Evergreen Suite:
"CIQTEK IN FULL SPIN – Experience the Eastern Spin on Resonance."
Instead of a standard networking session, we created a more immersive and interactive experience by combining science with Eastern cultural elements.
The evening included:
- A short MR-themed presentation
- A traditional lion dance performance
- Tea tasting
- Interactive games such as pitch-pot (Touhu)
The suite quickly filled with guests, and the atmosphere stayed lively throughout the night. Visitors were not just watching but actively participating. From technical discussions to cultural interaction, the feedback consistently reflected curiosity, interest, and genuine appreciation.
Many attendees described it as one of the most refreshing and memorable moments of ENC 2026.
Engaging the MR Community with Both EPR and NMR Solutions
ENC is a core event for NMR professionals, and this year, CIQTEK brought not only EPR innovations but also clear and structured introductions to our NMR technologies and product capabilities.
Many NMR experts who visited our suite shared that this was their first in-depth exposure to CIQTEK's MR portfolio. Through face-to-face discussions and on-site explanations, we helped attendees better understand:
- CIQTEK's approach to magnetic resonance instrumentation
- Our expanding NMR capabilities and product roadmap
- How EPR and NMR can complement each other in real research scenarios
These conversations helped reshape perceptions and sparked renewed interest in CIQTEK as a growing MR solution provider in the U.S. market.
Next Generation EPR with AI-Enhanced Processing
During the conference, CIQTEK Senior MR Solution Manager, Dr. Jeff Sun, presented:
"Next Generation EPR: Advanced X, Q, and W Band Instrumentation with AI Enhanced Spectral Processing."
The poster attracted strong attention and led to many in-depth technical discussions. Topics that resonated most with attendees included:
- Multi-band EPR systems (X, Q, and W bands)
- Instrument stability and performance optimization
- AI-assisted spectral analysis workflows
It became a natural gathering point for researchers interested in improving both hardware performance and data interpretation efficiency.
Global Launch of EPRMind: AI Changing EPR Workflows
A major highlight of the evening was the global launch of EPRMind, CIQTEK's AI-powered EPR spectral analysis platform.
Presented by Dr. Jeff Sun, Dr. Eric Xu, and the MR team, EPRMind introduces a much faster and more efficient way to process EPR data, with capabilities such as:
- One-click multi-component spectral analysis
- Automatic fitting and assignment
- Instant generation of publication-ready results
In a live demo, EPRMind completed the fitting of a complex multi-component spin trapping system in just over ten seconds.
This immediately caught the attention of experts on site. The speed and clarity of the results led to active discussions about how AI can significantly reduce analysis time and simplify workflows.
Looking Ahead: Growing Momentum for CIQTEK MR in the U.S.
ENC 2026 was not just a showcase. It was a meaningful step forward for CIQTEK in the U.S. market.
By presenting both EPR and NMR technologies together, and introducing tools like EPRMind, we offered a more complete view of what CIQTEK MR can bring to researchers.
More importantly, we built real connections, sparked new conversations, and created a stronger foundation for future collaboration.
With increasing recognition from both EPR and NMR communities, CIQTEK MR is gaining momentum in the United States. We are confident that our integrated solutions, continuous innovation, and close engagement with users will drive steady growth in the years ahead.
If you missed us at ENC 2026, we would be happy to continue the conversation. >> info.usa@ciqtek.com
