In this blog post, we introduce some of the work we've recently done on the analysis of essential oils using benchtop NMR spectroscopy. Specifically, we've developed some analytical methods for quantitative assays of key components, such as citral, linanyl acetate, linalool, decyl aldehyde, and eucalyptol. The sample preparations are straightforward, and the data can be collected in seconds or minutes, depending on the specific sample. If the contents of this blog post are of interest to our readers, we hope that it will encourage them to read our full peer-reviewed manuscript, which was recently published in the Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry journal, as part of a special issue on quantitative NMR.

Using benchtop NMR, stress testing of pharmaceuticals such as voriconazole under acidic conditions enables scientists to assess chemical stability and detect potential degradation products.

Street drugs are rarely pure, and the rise of complex opioid mixtures poses serious risks to public health. Our latest blog post shows how benchtop NMR combined with Wiley KnowItAll enables forensic labs to rapidly identify opioids like heroin and cutting agents in complex ¹H NMR spectra. Read More.

¹H NMR Spectroscopy with Solvent Suppression for the Analysis of Beverages, Including Energy Drinks and Alcoholic Spirits.

Repellents are used worldwide to protect against insect bites. This blog describes fun facts about mosquitoes, which substances are considered safe to be used in repellents applied to the skin, and look inside a pure repellent sample via 1H NMR. Read more.

Introducing the newest addition to our family…the Nanalysis-60! As the benchtop NMR market has grown, and people have become more excited about the possibility of including these systems in their research program, the question that we always get asked is if we could increase the number of features available – more sophisticated pulse programs, pulsed field gradients, advanced modules to modify and program new pulse sequences… Read more.

This blog post introduces some of the results we obtained in the collaborative publication of our white paper with the United States Pharmacopeia. It discusses the use of benchtop NMR spectroscopy for the analysis of over-the-counter medicines, and showcases how quantum mechanics can help reduce time requirements and lower accessibility barriers for industrial quality control.

In this blog, we describe the T2-filter experiment, including its description and application.

In this blog, we discuss why gradient-based 2D NMR experiments enhance both efficiency and data quality and become the preferred choice for many applications.
