Title: Sealed magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance probe and process for spectroscopy of hazardous samples

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1257229

A magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe is described that includes double containment enclosures configured to seal and contain hazardous samples for analysis. The probe is of a modular design that ensures containment of hazardous samples during sample analysis while preserving spin speeds for superior NMR performance and convenience of operation.
