Nuclear magnetic resonance

NMR
The phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by atomic nuclei of a substance that is placed in a magnetic field. The radiation energy has a resonant frequency, which depends on induction of the magnetic field and the magnetic properties of atoms substance. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a non-destructive technology that is used to study the properties of a molecular structure of samples. From the results of the NMR experiment, we can obtain a spectrum that provides information about:
  • chemical composition of the investigated substance;
  • percentage of atoms the host and impurities in the sample;
  • structural features of molecules and compounds;
  • investigation of the mechanism and kinetics of biochemical reactions.

Technology of NMR-spectroscopy is widespread in industry, for commercial purposes and scientific research:

  • research in the field of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry;
  • mining industry;
  • research in the field of biophysics and biochemistry;
  • food industry;
  • pharmaceutics and medical diagnostics;
  • agrochemical research and production;
  • production of polymeric materials.
