ABSTRACT
It is generally acknowledged that NMR spectroscopy is a highly valuable technology for structural analysis. Spectral measurements are usually made on only a single sample at a time. However, different types of NMR probes have been developed that employ parallel, noninteracting sample coils or cells. Such probes (termed multiplex or parallel probes) were built to allow for simultaneous detection of multiple samples. This approach has the potential to significantly increase the throughput of NMR measurements, which is conventionally subject to serial data acquisition. The multiplex probe can interface with a normal NMR spectrometer, with minor modifications to the hardware.
