  • Static multiple-sample NMR probe
    Patent number: 9995801
    Abstract: A static solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe includes multiple probe subunits each configured for holding a sample. Each probe subunit includes at least an associated magic angle spinning (MAS) module, a radio-frequency (RF) coil and an RF transmission line together defining an RF circuit. Each of the multiple probe subunits is individually held in a conducting housing isolating the RF circuit of the each of the probe subunit from any other of the plurality of probe subunits. The static solid-state NMR probe may include four or more probe subunits including four or more MAS modules.
    Type: Grant

  • Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance probe
    Patent number: 6937020
    Abstract: A solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance probe that includes multiple sample spinning systems and detection coils is disclosed. The probe can be repositioned within the bore of the magnet to selectively maximize the throughput and sensitivity of the instrument by acquiring a spectrum from one sample at a time while at least one other sample is at or returning to an equilibrium spin state. Methods for the utilization of the probe are also disclosed.
