| Project Title: | MICROCOIL NMR: EXTENDING FIELD LIMITS OF HIGH RESOLUTION |
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from Applicant's Abstract): The overall goal of this
study is to extend the present upper field limits of NMR spectroscopy by using
the scaling advantages of NMR microcoils, and therefore enable for the first
time the use of very narrow bore magnets of the highest field strength
currently attainable coupled to custom NMR probes of the highest mass
sensitivity currently attainable. This unique and powerful combination of
magnet and probe technology for increased NMR sensitivity also provides
inherent cost advantages. The potential impact of this advance on the otherwise
exponential performance vs. cost barrier of high field, high resolution NMR is
to substantially lower expenses of such systems by factor of 5-10. The proposed
research will serve as a demonstration of feasibility for subsequent
commercialization that offers to bring high field NMR into common use in a
relatively rapid time frame in commercial, academic, and government
laboratories. NIH support will enable research assessment of the primary
technology factors required to carry out subsequent commercialization, and will
facilitate a first step in a direction for technology development explicitly
defined as one of national significance.
