NMR Mouse - Portable Open NMR Sensors
The unique, powerful Profile NMR-MOUSE probe works hand-in-hand with the Kea2 spectrometer. The Profile NMR-MOUSE is a portable, open NMR sensor equipped with a novel permanent magnet geometry that generates a flat sensitive volume parallel to the scanner surface.
The system can measure
- Proton density as a function of depth
- T2 NMR relaxation times
- T1 NMR relaxation times
- Self-Diffusion coefficient of liquids
To excite and detect the NMR signal of this volume, a surface RF coil is placed on top of the magnet at a position that defines the maximum penetration into the sample. As the sensitive slice is repositioned across the object, this unilateral NMR scanner produces one-dimensional profiles of the sample structure with a spatial resolution better than five micrometres.
Profiles showing the structure of a gasoline tank wall and the ingress of gasoline for different exposure times. An interesting application of the profile NMR-MOUSE is the study of dynamic transport processes happening at the material surface, such as the ingress of solvents into solid materials.
Multi-layer cement materialsProfile of a multi-layer polymer coating used to protect concrete surfaces from environmental corrosion. In many cases, not only high spatial resolution but also a large penetration depth, is desired. It can be achieved with the PM10, which provides a penetration depth of 10 mm.
The conservation of cultural heritage is a particular field where the use of non-destructive characterisation methods is mandatory considering the uniqueness of the object under study.
Profiling human skin in vivoTaking advantage of the high spatial resolution achieved with the profile-MOUSE the skin structure can be studied in vivo.
An optional high precision lift integrates with the spectrometer and software for rapid automated scanning across the sample.
