BEST-NMR Spectroscopy
BEST-NMR Spectroscopy allows measurement and analyses of up to 500 NMR samples per day, employing a sample changer, a high-throughput probehead and special BEST software.
This new method of NMR Spectroscopy was designed for applications where conventional NMR was deemed to be too cost-intensive. In addition, the reduction of the probehead diameter from a previous 5 mm to 2 mm meant an increase in probehead sensitivity, which consequently led to a reduction to 160 ml in the amount of substance required for analysis.
Since no deuterated dissolvent is used in BEST-NMR Spectroscopy, the sample substance can be recovered without any problems.
BEST-NMR spectra are examined for the appearance of pathologic metabolites by utilising a special software tool. This is an excellent routine for mass screening.
BEST NMR can also be used for automatic identification of natural substances. Thus, extracts of different plants can be analysed and characterised. If an unknown substance is found during the analysis, or a previously defined substance is detected in a sample, the user will be informed immediately by a special software.
BEST-NMR Spectroscopy can be applied to both traditional and pharmaceutical chemistry for mass-screening analyses, providing a number of promising approaches with regard to chemical reactions. Moreover, this technique can be applied to display different concentration spectra, which can then be used to control process optimisation.
