NMR Mouse - Portable Open NMR Sensor - Brochure

The Profile NMR-MOUSE is a portable open NMR sensor equipped with a novel permanent magnet geometry that generates a highly uniform gradient perpendicular to the scanner surface. Given this field profile, a flat sensitive volume is excited and detected by a surface RF coil placed on top of the magnet at a position that defines the maximum penetration depth into the sample. By repositioning the sensitive slice across the object, this scanner produces one-dimensional profiles of the sample structure with a spatial resolution better than 5 nm. The gradient of the sensor can as well be utilized to measure molecular self-diffusion coefficients. By applying spin or stimulated echo sequences liquids with a wide range of viscosities can be fast and accurately measured. The Profile NMR-MOUSE system includes a high precision lift and a fully digital mobile spectrometer Kea.
