Cost might seem to depress NMR sales, but chem istry departments in research universities normally have between $5 million and $15 mil created new lion or more invested in NMR equipment. Fifty years following the first commercial NMR spectrometers, innovation seems not to be ways of analysis slowing but speeding up.

DuPont was sufficiently impressed by a 1951 proton spectrum of ethyl alcohol (see Figure 4) to advance $10,000 to Varian to facilitate completion of its first commercial spectrometer.

However, 13C is an important nucleus for chemical work, but it has a low abundance in nature, 1.3 percent, and a nuclear moment 1/4 that of protons. Consequently, it gives weak NMR signals at the natural abundance FIGURE 8 Vacuum-jacketed, temperature-controlled NMR probe.

They give NMR spectra, but the signals are 14 too broad to be useful. Routine 15 N spectra required three major improvements: First, commercial development of superconducting magnets with fields 5 to 15 times stronger were needed to achieve greater magnetization of the N nuclei.

Signal-to-noise is improved by a factor of 3 or 4. An obvious way to increase the sensitivity of NMR detection, which advantageously spreads peaks separated by chemical shifts farther apart, is to use higher magnetic fields.

The changes in force are transmitted mechanically to a vibrating silicon plate, the resulting picometer changes in vibration amplitude are detected by an optical interferometer, and the FID is turned into a spectrum by FTs. Where do we need this new detection scheme?
