NBMR-3
NBMR-3 refers to a specific nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microimaging and relaxation platform. Typically, this platform is designed for high-throughput, high-resolution NMR analysis of small samples. It often integrates microfluidic technology with magnetic resonance imaging to enable rapid and automated analysis of various samples.
The key components of an NBMR-3 system generally include:
- Microfluidics: Precise handling and delivery of small sample volumes within the NMR detection range.
- Magnetic Resonance System: A magnetic field and associated radiofrequency pulses used to excite and detect nuclear spins within the sample.
- Detection Coils: Specialized coils designed for enhanced sensitivity and resolution at small scales.
- Automation and Control Software: Software to control the flow of samples, acquire NMR data, and perform data processing and analysis.
Applications of NBMR-3 include, but are not limited to:
- Metabolomics: Analyzing metabolic profiles of biological samples.
- Drug Discovery: Screening and characterizing potential drug candidates.
- Materials Science: Investigating the structure and dynamics of materials at the microscale.
- Reaction Monitoring: Monitoring chemical reactions in real-time.
NBMR-3 technology aims to bridge the gap between conventional NMR spectroscopy and microfluidics, providing a powerful tool for analyzing complex samples with high sensitivity and throughput.
