Thanks to the exceptional sensitivity, students can obtain informative spectra within a minute of sample preparation. This is important for large laboratory classes, where often hundreds of samples need to measured by students. The operating costs are very low, as no liquid cryogens are required. Deuterated solvents are not necessary, and low-cost budget NMR tubes can be used.

Spinsolve software is beautiful and intuitive which means it can be easily operated by anyone in the chemistry lab with minimal training. Most experiments can be run with a single click of a button. Switching between experiments also involves a single click. This simple, easy to use operation reduces time spent learning how to operate the system and increases throughput.

When first being exposed to NMR, many students find it difficult to understand and distinguish between chemical shift and j-coupling. Two-dimensional NMR experiments project additional information into a second dimension, which tremendously facilitates the interpretation of NMR spectra. Spinsolve supports 2D COSY and homonuclear j-resolved experiments.

Getting NMR into the hands of students at an early stage is just part of the evolution in the world of NMR. The launch of the benchtop NMR spectrometers like the Spinsolve series of instruments has changed the face of education in chemistry with institutes around the world being able to adopt a low-cost, low-maintenance system to bring practical teaching into undergraduate teaching laboratories.

“Now the students are able to acquire their own NMR spectra as well as carry out the analysis of the compounds they have made. This makes their undergraduate experiment more applicable to both research and industry settings and increases their enthusiasm for chemistry.” -Professor Frances Separovic, Head of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne
