Abstract

This paper reports our work in developing a mobile nuclear magnetic resonance system with full spectroscopy capability. The system consists of a 0.93 T, portable permanent magnet, a 8-turn 550 μm diameter microcoil, and compact electronics systems. The system provides 0.4 parts per million spectrum linewidth and 408 signal-to-noise ratio from a 37 nL water sample with 128 averages. Representative ¹H and ¹⁹F spectra are presented.
