Bio: John Edwards, Ph.D. Dr Edwards He received a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Durham University in the UK in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of South Carolina in 1990 specializing in solid-state NMR in the group of Prof. Paul Ellis. He spent his first 7 years in industry managing the NMR laboratory at the Texaco Research Center in Beacon, New York. In this position he was exposed to wide range of projects from environmental, refining, oil exploration, polymers, alternate energy and petrochemicals. He formed Process NMR Associates in 1997 which initially supported the chemometric applications of permanent magnet high resolution NMR systems operating at 60 MHz and used for process control in chemical plants and refineries. He has spent over 25 years working with benchtop NMR systems and is one of the worlds experts in the application of this technology in industry. Over the past 20 years he has also developed an analytical NMR service business which supports the quality control and research needs of over 200 companies spanning all industry sectors. He operates a lab comprising of two 300 MHz NMR systems and a 200 MHz NMR for solid-state NMR studies. From petroleum, polysaccharides, food, nutritional supplements, polymers, coal, fuels, dairy, beverages, cosmetics, additives, fungal extracts, petrochemicals, edible oils, toothpaste, heterogeneous catalysts, he’s seen it all. He is actively involved in the development of qNMR as an ISO method and strives to apply NMR as a routine testing tool for small molecule purity and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures.

Process NMR Associates Laboratory: Process NMR Associates operates a 3500 sqFt laboratory space that houses two Varian Mercury 300 spectrometers for multi-nuclear liquid-state NMR studies. They also maintain a 200 MHz Varian Unity-Plus spectrometer equipped with Doty Scientific solid-state NMR probes for multi-nuclear solids analysis. The laboratory also has a Thermo Nicolet iS5 FTIR ATR spectrometer and 3 Shimadzu GC systems. The lab also periodically hosts benchtop NMR systems from manufacturers for application development and project demonstrations.
