Determine authenticity quickly

Relaxometry has long been used in food science for a number of applications. Benchtop NMR can be used in similar methods but can also measure 1D 1H NMR to provide additional information of speciation, origin or authenticity of a sample.

Qualitative and quantitative (qNMR) methods are also possible to validate product claims. For example,

Carbohydrate Content
Alcohol Percentage
Food Authenticity

100 MHz
- Nanalysis 100PRO – Multinuclear 
  e.g., 1H/19F/13C, 1H/19F/31P,  etc.  
- Nanalysis 100e – 1H/19F  
60 MHz
- Nanalysis 60PRO – Multinuclear 
  e.g., 1H/19F/13C, 1H/19F/31P, 1H/19F/11B, etc. 
- Nanalysis 60e - 1H/19F 
If you’re interested in software packages that ease incorporation of your benchtop NMR, please inquire about:
- Installation Qualification/Operational Qualification (IQ/OQ) software modules
- Advanced User interface for optional application programmatic interface to write own pulse programs or control instrument remotely-
- Developments of CFR 21 Part 11 Compliance.
For more information about incorporating benchtop NMR into your daily workflow, please inquire for free sample submission, optional automation, building a database and other tools.
Authenticity of Honey vs. Syrups >

The authenticity of honey is becoming an increasing problem, with a speculated 25% or higher sample set being mixed with lower cost syrups like corn or rice either during or after production. This has resulted in a decrease in the price of honey for farmers and producers. The use of benchtop NMR spectrometers could provide an easy and automated way for producers to ensure the authenticity of honey.
