19F Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy for Rapid Hydroxyl Value Determination in Polymers

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.

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

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).

Spicing Up Your Holidays with NMR

If there is one thing that I could say describes the holiday season best, it would have to be the delicious treats I get to indulge in, such as: gingerbread cookies, pies, peppermint bark, and so many more. Wafting in the aroma of baked goods always gives me butterflies in my stomach and lights up my nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) mind.
