Review of New Spectroscopic Instrumentation 2019

Spectroscopy interviewed Monique Chanhuot (Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, Paris, France) about her recent work using chiral liquid crystals in NMR to track changes in alanine chirality driven by alanine racemase. The hope is that, in the future, elucidations of the enzyme activity may enable the development of inhibitors and new antibiotics.

Combining Spectroscopic and Chromatographic Techniques

One of the most critical components to the performance of any high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system is the NMR probe. The probe is where all of the action happens within an NMR system, and they are offered in a wide variety of sizes and configurations for different applications. The aftermarket for NMR probes, alone, is quite a sizeable market, and will continue to be a major driver of the market.
