Description
This time-domain NMR platform comprises two 20 MHz Minispec spectrometers and is equipped for advanced one- and two-dimensional relaxometric and diffusometric (4 T/m, lowQ) experiments. One spectrometer is dedicated to relaxometric experiments; one- and two-dimensional (T2 dispersion, T1-T2). The other one is on standby for diffusometric and relaxometric experiments under a wide range of temperatures (approximately -100 – +100 °C). This equipment is part of the equipment portfolio of Unilever made available for sharing through Shared Research Facilities.
