It is well known that NMR analysis requires a higher concentration of analyte than any other spectroscopic method. For example, UV-Vis requires an analyte concentration range of only nM to µM, while NMR typically requires the analyte to be in the mM range (>1000 times more concentrated!). In this blog, we will demonstrate why NMR is considerably less sensitive than UV-Vis. We have chosen UV-Vis for this comparison as it is widely recognized as one of the most sensitive spectroscopic techniques.

NMR is a great tool for the analysis of molecular properties such as the amide bond, which has a restricted rotation around the C–N bond. In Biochemistry, the amide bond is referred to as the peptide bond. This bond is formed by the union of a carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of another amino acid. Read more.

Utilizing advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology, our latest research provides startling insights into MDMA content variability in street ecstasy tablets. This NMR-driven analytical accuracy sets a new standard in Spectroscopy methods for drug analysis, significantly impacting harm reduction and public safety strategies.

When analyzing polymers using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, well-defined end-groups (e.g., methoxy, acrylate, vinyl) are typically desired, as these allow for a direct comparison between these end-groups and the repeating monomeric units. This provides a path for rapid and facile determination of the number of repeating units in a polymer, as well as its number-average molecular weight (Mn). Read more.

One of the questions that we always get at tradeshows and conferences is how our instrument compares to high-field data. There are significant inherent differences between low-field and high-field instruments, but the most important from a chemistry point of view are sensitivity (S/N) and resonance dispersion (signal separation).

In this blog, we will examine the techniques for ensuring sample homogeneity and explain regarding how the condition of the NMR tube impacts data quality.

In this blog, we highlight the importance choosing the correct NMR solvent and checking the final volume in the NMR tube.
