What is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance?
A spectroscopic technique (NMR) based on the absorption of radiofrequency radiation by atomic nuclei in a magnetic field. ¹H NMR is used to determine hydrogen environments in organic molecules. ¹³C NMR provides carbon skeleton information. The basis of MRI medical imaging.

NMR spectroscopy is used in: organic structure elucidation (¹H and ¹³C NMR), protein structure determination (multi-dimensional NMR), metabolomics, pharmaceutical quality control (identity and purity), reaction monitoring, and medical imaging (MRI brain and soft tissue imaging using ¹H NMR of water …
NMR spectrometers use superconducting magnets (1.5-28 T) generating very strong static magnetic fields that attract ferromagnetic objects at high speed (projectile hazard). Cryogens (liquid He and N₂) for magnet cooling present asphyxiation and cryogenic burn risks. Exclude ferromagnetic objects, pa…
