New Lab Manual: Determination of Lewis Acidity using 31P NMR
We have prepared a new lab manual, ‘Determination of Lewis Acidity using 31P NMR‘ which uses triethylphosphine oxide as a probe to determine Lewis acidity of common laboratory solvents.
What Customers Say Page
We regularly post testimonials on our blog, where our customers describe how they are using their Spinsolve and comment on their experience using it. We have a number of these user stories now, so we have conveniently compiled them all on a new page ‘Testimonials‘. Take a look to see how Spinsolve users all over the world, …
New Application Note: Column Chromatography
In this note we demonstrate how easy it is to use the Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer to analyse the eluents of column chromatography.

Spinsolve Video #2: Spinsolve Sensitivity
#2 Spinsolve Sensitivity This video shows the superb sensitivity of the Magritek Spinsolve NMR spectrometer. We perform measurements on Ibuprofen samples at 2 M, 200 mM, 20 mM and 2 mM and show that even at 2 mM, corresponding to just 0.2 mg of sample in 0.5 mL of solvent, we get terrific results in just over …
Spinsolve Video #1: Ease-of-Use
We have been working on a new series of videos that illustrate the superb capabilities of the Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer. The first video shows how easy it is to use the Spinsolve.
Online Monitoring of Fermentation using Spinsolve Published in Biotechnol. Bioeng.
A recently published article in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, co-authored Prof. Dr. Bernhard Blümich, one of the founders of Magritek, shows that using the Spinsolve to non-invasively monitor fermentation is a chemically specific and robust way of monitoring changes in complex, opaque media.
New Lab Manual: Metal Acetylacetonate Complexes
We have put together a new lab manual, ‘Preparation and Characterisation of Metal Acetylacetonate Complexes’ that exposes students to a range of concepts including keto-enol tautomerisation, Evans method, metal complex synthesis and electronic structure.
New Application Note: Kinetic Profiling using Reaction Monitoring
The Spinsolve high-resolution bench-top NMR spectrometer has been used to monitor the reaction kinetics of the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride, detecting concentrations of less than 0.5%.
New Lab Manual: Synthesis of Aspirin with a Difference
Aspirin is a pain relieving compound that most students will be familiar with, thus its synthesis gives students an insight into how chemistry is used in real-life applications. We have taken a common undergraduate experiment and incorporated 1H-NMR spectroscopy, used to determine the purity and report the structure of their product, and multi-step synthesis.
