Mobile single-sided NMR

摘要

Mobile, single-sided NMR has its origin in inside-out NMR, where NMR spectrometers are lowered into bore holes for analysis of fluids in the surrounding rock matrix.Similar equipment can be used for measurement of product streams and product quality, and for medical diagnostics. Although this idea has been formulated over three decades ago, mobile NMR has remained a niche largely unnoticed by the NMR community until systematic investigations of NMR in inhomogeneous fields appeared in the scientific literature with the commercialization of well-logging instruments and the development of the NMR-MOUSE. This review summarizes the development of instrumentation,methods, and applications of mobile NMR, with particular attention to single-sided NMR.
