Our History NMR Consulting and NMR Analysis

Sample Projects: NMR Consulting, Analysis, Application Development and Automation

NMR Consulting and NMR Analysis Services
Established in 1997, we specialize particularly in the application of high resolution NMR spectroscopy to laboratory test methods and on-line applications in the refining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, herbal supplement, alcoholic beverage and food industries. These applications can be used for QA/QC or to enable real-time control and optimization of production plant processes. We offer expert witness and technical litigation support as well as consulting and training.

NMR Application Development and Automation
We are an application development company capable of working on NMR based applications on any NMR technology platform based on our collaboration with Spinmetrix SRL that focusses on custom software development for NMR method automation and execution. We actively develop applications on 43, 60, 80, 200, and 300+ MHz NMR systems and many examples of this are found in the presentations hosted on this site and on our blog.

NMR Analytical Services
We own and operate a high field (2 x 300MHz (Liquids) and 1 x 200 MHz (Solids)) analytical NMR service laboratory for both liquid-state multi-nuclear and multi-dimensional NMR studies, as well as solid-state multi-nuclear studies utilizing magic angle spinning and cross-polarization techniques. This commercial NMR testing laboratory currently supports the work of over 300 companies. Projects range from method development to routine sample analysis and can be full service (includes interpretation) or simply data collection and reporting where PDF data reports or raw data are delivered to the customer.
