What is process analytical technology (PAT) and why is it so important?PAT is an extremely powerful and useful tool for analyzing, optimizing and controlling chemical processes. Chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries could especially benefit from this technique. In earlier days, chemical processes were primarily monitored by physical techniques, such as temperature, pH, pressure etc..

Hello fellow NMR enthusiasts, have you ever wondered what tritium (3H) looks like via NMR? I know I have, and today, I would like to share some data with you. Read noww.

Given the superior resolution of our 100 MHz instrument, we can perform structure elucidation on increasingly large molecules. As molecules get more complex, as do the suite of experiments that can be used to…

It is common to mention the frequency of an NMR instrument instead of its field. When someone says: I have in my laboratory a 100 MHz instrument, it means that a spectrometer where the protons precess with a frequency of 100 MHz (Lamour frequency) is available in the lab…

NMR users can deal with spectrum evaluation in the daily work, but how is the spectrum information stored in the time domain (FID)? Read more.

Brucine is a structurally complex molecule, commonly found in the bark and seeds of the Strychnos nux-vomica tree, which is native to India and southeast Asia.1 A toxic alkaloid, brucine is typically present alongside strychnine, a structurally almost identical molecule that is more toxic than brucine.

In NMR we often discuss lock, but many users don't understand what this actually means. Read this blog to learn more about the lock system and how it is necessary to correct for naturally occurring drift in the magnetic field in both high-field and low-field NMR spectrometers

‘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.

Are you familiar with the apodization tool in Mnova? Apodization (also referred to as Weighting or Windowing) literally translates to ‘cutting off the feet’ from the original Greek. In this case…

If you’ve ever prepared an NMR sample, you’re familiar with the fact that we almost always use deuterated solvents to dissolve our samples of interest…
