Located in Hanau, Germany, EAS is a strong player within the medical and especially the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) superconductor market. EAS has developed and manufactured high-quality low-temperature superconductors (LTS) for over 40 years. EAS’s product portfolio encompasses LTS wire for clinical MRI and analytical instruments as well as for large-scale physics research projects, such as particle accelerators and experimental fusion reactors. The major applications for EAS products are clinical MRI machines using 1.5 Tesla and more recently 3 Tesla magnets, as well as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) magnets, which can reach magnetic field strengths up to and above 20 Tesla. EAS also supplies LTS wire for research animal MRI magnets, for Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) magnets and for Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FTMS) magnets. The company has a strong R&D department and has participated in projects including the Large Hadron Collider project, and expects to be a key participant on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program.
