Abstract
A magnetic resonance apparatus is described for detecting at least one property of a sample, which may include a foodstuff. The magnetic resonance apparatus comprises a magnet unit, which comprises a base magnet and a RF antenna unit, a sample receiving area at least partially surrounded by the magnet unit, and a transport apparatus for introducing at least one sample into the sample receiving area. The magnetic resonance apparatus comprises an radio frequency (RF) shielding unit, which shields the sample receiving area from the outside, such as a region external to the magnetic resonance apparatus.

A magnetic resonance apparatus for detecting a property of a sample, comprising:
- a magnet assembly comprising a base magnet and a radio frequency (RF) antenna assembly;
- a sample receiving area at least partially surrounded by the magnet assembly;
- a transport apparatus comprising a conveyor belt including a recess, the transport apparatus being configured to introduce the sample into the sample receiving area;
- and
- an RF shielding assembly comprising a door assembly including a first flap having a first RF seal and a second flap having a second RF seal, the RF shielding assembly being configured to shield the sample receiving area from a region external to the magnetic resonance apparatus via the first RF seal of the first flap and the second RF seal of the second flap engaging with the recess of the conveyor belt to provide RF shielding.
A magnetic resonance apparatus for detecting a property of a sample, comprising:
- a magnet assembly comprising a base magnet and a radio frequency (RF) antenna assembly;
- a sample receiving area at least partially surrounded by the magnet assembly;
- a transport apparatus configured to introduce the sample into the sample receiving area, the transport apparatus comprising:
- at least two conveyor belts that are arranged one after the other in a direction of transport;
- and
- a transition area disposed between the at least two conveyor belts;
- and
- an RF shielding assembly comprising a door assembly, the RF shielding assembly being configured to shield the sample receiving area from a region external to the magnetic resonance apparatus,
- wherein the sample receiving area is configured to be closed or opened via the door assembly, and
- wherein the door assembly is arranged in a closed state of the door assembly in the transition area.
