About Mag-Instruments
Mag-Instruments UG is a German technology company based in Munich, founded in 2014. The company specializes in the development and manufacture of high-quality devices for magnetic measurements and treatments. The product portfolio includes, among other things, highly sensitive spinner magnetometers, pulse magnetizers and alternating-field demagnetizers. These instruments are used to analyze the magnetic properties of a wide range of materials, including rocks, soils, sediments, biological samples and synthetic materials. The main fields of application are in research, especially in paleomagnetism, rock magnetism and environmental magnetism, as well as in materials science, biology and archaeology. Mag-Instruments also offers software upgrades, support and custom adaptations such as coils and sample holders.
