First steps toward micro-imaging: NMR procedure with a 10-fold increase in sensitivity
The low sensitivity of nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) makes highly difficult the study of very small quantities of matter, but a group of research within DRECAM pushes down its detection limit. By means of miniaturized mobile detectors, the sensitivity for the high resolution NMR signal is increased by a factor 10 for sample volumes less than a few hundreds of nanolitres.More ...
