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 my opinion, one of the most helpful papers[1] in the field of NMR spectroscopy in Organic Chemistry consists of ‘just’ two tables. In these, the chemical shifts (1H and 13C) of as many as forty-two common impurities in twelve different deuterated solvents are listed. This is gold! Why?

‘The spectra were analyzed according to first order’. Does this sound familiar to you? Most of the supporting information documents out there contain this sentence. You find yourself asking ‘why does nobody care about second order effects?’, then check out this high-order blog entry on the topic.

While low-field NMR has extremely favourable accessibility and affordable characteristics, the most common question that we get asked about our family of benchtop NMR spectrometers is with respect to any trade-offs that come from moving to lower-field.

As we’ve previously discussed, the development of NMR technology has largely been geared towards improving magnetic field strength.  The original electromagnet spectrometers
