Additional information from the NMR section of the Pittcon Review article.
Manufacturer: Magritek
Product name: Spinsolve
Compact NMR Spectrometer
New this year: Newly introduced at Pittcon 2013
Used for: Lab, process analysis
Measurement Mode: NMR
Special Features: Fits on a lab benchtop. Uses standard 5mm NMR tubes. Excellent spectral resolution; uses an external lock so that any solvent can be used. The Spinsolve NMR spectrometer is the fastest compact NMR spectrometer on the market today. The instrument has the highest resolution and highest sensitivity of any compact NMR spectrometer.
Software: Proprietary Magritek operating software
Compatible with standard 5mm NMR tubes
Suggested applications: Chemistry teaching labs, small molecule bench chemistry, process control
Primary benefits: Compact benchtop NMR spectrometers provide the convenience of immediate NMR measurement, with the highest sensitivity of any compact NMR spectrometer. The Spinsolve compact NMR spectrometer has the best spectral resolution in this class of NMR spectrometer enabling improved identification of components. Unique features worthy of mention: >10:1 sensitivity on 0.1% ethyl benzene, < 1Hz spectral resolution (@ 50% level), No cryogens needed
