Deleting the 5 Letters of COVID-19 (ATCUG)

The media is bombarding us daily with two messages on opposite sides of the coin. One message displays record-high infection rates due to COVID-19, while the other focuses on the release of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines initially by Pfizer-BioNTech, followed by Moderna. With so many drastic changes…

To D2O or not to D2O?

In the average case one can simply dissolve an analyte in an appropriate deuterated solvent and acquire a simple 1D spectrum to obtain all the required structural information. However, sometimes doing so may not provide you with all of the information you need!

Heteronuclear J-coupling

The communication of nuclear spins is not limited to nuclei of the same ‘type’. Atoms that have a nuclear spin (i.e., I ≠ 0) are affected by the same phenomena that cause protons to communicate and ultimately split each other’s NMR signal.

What to expect: Chemical Shifts & Coupling Constants in Low-field NMR Spectroscopy (Copy)

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).

Cannabis Analysis: Why Is It Important and How Can Benchtop NMR Help?

It's no secret the cannabis industry has taken the world by storm. In fact, by the end of 2025, the global cannabis industry is expected to reach $146.4 billion. Even during the COVID-19 crisis, the industry is still running hot. However, the cannabis industry's popularity is perhaps even more of a reason why quality control and analysis is so important.
