General information
The Hasselblad Laboratory is named after a donation by the Hasselblad Foundation to enable the establishment of a Swedish NMR centre. The business is built around the laboratory, where superconducting large magnets generate the strong magnetic fields needed to map the spatial structure of proteins. The starting point for the design of the building has been to follow the grant that was created when Medicinarlengan was built in the 60s. The building is divided into several building bodies, partly because the depth of the house is large and because the volume needs to be adapted in scale to the surrounding buildings. The NMR laboratory is rigorously shielded from surrounding magnetic fields and no magnetically susceptible materials may be present in the laboratory.
