Portable NMR
Although NMR is a powerful technique, it is has been restricted historically by the need to bring the object under investigation to the instrument. This has limited the size and types of objects and materials that can be studied by NMR, and therefore also has limited the potential of NMR techniques for solving industrial problems.
Magritek portable NMR technology realises the promise of taking the NMR instrument to the sample, significantly increasing the potential for NMR solutions to industrial problems.
Portable NMR Instruments
For some large samples, such as concrete, food, or wood, sample access is highly restricted. One-sided NMR probes allow NMR of samples outside the probe up to a depth of 50 mm.
The very portable Magritek LapSpec Spectrometer is a complete pulsed NMR platform in a single slim modular package. The LapSpec operates from 1 - 30 MHz, has an internal 150 W transmit amplifier, weighs only 3.6 kg, and will run for up to 4 hours on rechargeable batteries.
The Kea modular spectrometer is slightly larger but still very portable - it can be operated on 24 V from a car battery. The flexible Kea is more configurable and has a broader frequency range than the LapSpec.
