Metrolab is the global market leader for precision magnetometers.Metrolab Technology SA builds instruments to measure strong magnetic fields with Swiss precision. Established in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1985, they have won the trust of all the large physics laboratories and all leading players in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, across the world.Metrolab’s top priority is to provide solutions to help one effectively measure magnetic fields. To deliver quality products, they combine the reliability of industrial manufacturing with the responsiveness of a service company.

Metrolab masters four technologies to measure magnetic fields:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR

If you need to measure a strong static magnetic field precisely, this is the most precise technology available. Here are some of the main applications for our magnetometers:

High-quality MRI images require a strong and extremely homogeneous magnetic field in the target area. MRI manufacturers shim their magnets to compensate for field inhomogeneities. A precise NMR magnetometer can acquire an accurate field map crucial to compute the exact compensation required.
Ultra-high-precision instruments are perfect for measuring the B0 fields in superconducting magnets. They are suitable for simple checks during ramping or sophisticated long-term stability studies during decay monitoring.

An NMR magnetometer is the absolute reference to calibrate a magnetometer using another technology.
Real-time monitoring of beam bending accelerator magnets is an application of choice for an NMR magnetometer. It provides an absolute and perfectly stable reference point.

Three-axis Hall effect

The acquisition is nearly instantaneous; it measures both positive and negative field components for all three axes of the magnetic field, so you get a true magnetic field reading no matter how you hold the probe.

A handheld three-axis Hall magnetometer allows mapping fringe fields quickly and conveniently.

Three-axis Fluxgate

Like Hall-effect magnetometers, but for weaker magnetic fields. The acquisition is nearly instantaneous; it measures both positive and negative field components for all three axes of the magnetic field, so you get a true magnetic field reading no matter how you hold the probe. Outstanding noise characteristics make fluxgate magnetometers the instrument of choice for measuring minute disturbances in the local magnetic field, for example, due to an iron mass or AC power-line noise.The presence of steel structures in the building can distort the field contours around the MRI magnet, and the MRI suite should be mapped before the magnet’s installation.
