According
to JEOL Resonance, a new benchmark for resolution and benchmark will be
set with its introduction next week of a new 0.75-mm solid state
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The probe is capable of high
resolution sample analysis by spinning the sample at 110 kHz, the
world's fastest spinning speed for NMR.
