Abstract
The invention concerns an NMR apparatus (1) comprising an NMR spectrometer (2) for sequential investigation of several samples in sample containers (6) of substantially identical geometrical design, at a measuring position (10) in the NMR spectrometer (2) comprising a supply line (8) for pneumatic supply of the sample containers (6) from a magazine (3) to the measuring position (10). The apparatus is characterized in that the magazine (3) is disposed within a temperature-controlled cabinet, in particular, a cold chamber (4) and the supply line (8) can be heated. This substantially increases the throughput of samples of the NMR apparatus (1) with simple technical means.
Claims18
An NMR apparatus for sequential investigation of a plurality of samples at a measuring position, each sample being disposed in an individual sample container of substantially identical geometrical design, the apparatus comprising:
- an NMR spectrometer containing the measuring position;
- a temperature controlled cabinet disposed at a substantial separation from said NMR spectrometer, said cabinet defining a cold chamber to cool the samples during storage thereof;
- a magazine for holding a plurality of sample containers, said magazine disposed within said cabinet;
- a supply line for pneumatic supply of the sample containers from said magazine to the measuring position in said NMR spectrometer;
- and
- means for heating said supply line.
