A recent review discusses mobile nmr for art and cultural history (no subscription, so abstract only). The review cites NMR-Mouse in particular. The manufacturer, ACT, apparently offers a range of mobile nmr products.

The main application appear to be in 'bringing the instrument to the sample', and this is what most of the writeups I've seen emphasize. But I'm intrigued by mobile nmr as low-cost devices that might have something to offer lab chemistry. My questions:

  • How much does one of these cost?
  • What data do mobile nmr devices record?
  • Could a device like NMR-mouse be used for reaction monitoring, kinetics experiments, and the like?
  • How have you used mobile nmr?

I shall have a read at this when I return to work after eaters, it sounds interesting. Again I can send you a copy of the paper if you wish. – quintus Apr 4 at 10:05

I was not aware of this application of NMR and have never used it. I read the paper and the non-invesive method is excellent for the archeology application. I think it could be used for reaction monitoring, but perhaps not kinetics where the measurements need to be a bit more exact. No idea of the costs, but as the size of high-field magnets comes down, it may become affordable. A very interesting application of NMR.
