Abstract
A probe head for NMR measurements as well as a method of operating this probe head is disclosed. The probe head includes a support body that carries a solenoid coil as measuring coil, as well as a feed line towards the solenoid coil, via which a sample material can be introduced into a measuring volume surrounded by the solenoid coil. The feed line is configured for receiving and conveying sample containers in the probe head. The probe head allows for an automated measurement of different samples, specifically of solid samples.
Claims14
Probe head configured for NMR measurements in a magnetic system, said magnetic system comprising a bore extending in parallel with a base magnetic field for receiving the probe head through a lower opening thereof, wherein the probe head includes a body carrying inside said body at least one solenoid coil as a measuring coil, said solenoid coil having a coil axis perpendicular to the base magnetic field when inserted into said bore through said lower opening, a feed line towards the solenoid coil via which a sample material can be introduced into a measuring volume surrounded by said solenoid coil, wherein said feed line is configured in relation to said measuring volume for receiving and conveying sample containers through said measuring volume by extending along said coil axis perpendicular to the direction of said lower opening in said bore of said magnetic system.
