Abstract: A sample delivery system for a flow-through NMR analysis is provided, which utilizes pressurized gas as a means for conveying a sample into and out of an NMR spectrometer. Two sources of gas pressure, a forward pressure and back pressure, oppose the sample within the tubing of the sample delivery system and the tubing of the flow-through system which are operatively coupled together. Conveyance of the sample in any direction within the tubing is achieved by adjusting the pressure differential. Precise positioning of the sample in the magnetic field center and complete removal of the sample from the NMR spectrometer when analysis is complete are achieved by using a signal processor which receives signals from the NMR detector or other detectors positioned along the length of the tubing. These signals provide an indication of the position of the sample in the tubing. The signal processor uses this information to adjust the forward and back pressure, thereby achieving the desired positioning of the sample.
