MRS Magnetics

Magnetic Resonance Systems (MRS) was a specialized developer and manufacturer of high-performance preclinical MRI systems and components, primarily serving the life sciences and pharmaceutical research sectors. Based in Redwood City, California, the company was recognized for its innovation in compact, cryogen-free MRI technology and advanced radiofrequency (RF) coils designed for small animal imaging. Their systems enabled researchers to perform sophisticated magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MRI) without the logistical challenges of liquid helium cooling. In 2012, the company's preclinical MRI business was acquired by Bruker Corporation, a global leader in scientific instrumentation, to strengthen its portfolio of preclinical imaging solutions.
