Susceptibility-Compensated Detector for Magnetic Resonance Analysis of Small Samples

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a detector specifically designed for magnetic resonance measurements of small sample volumes. The device uses three similar cylindrical substrates made from diamagnetic or paramagnetic materials, combined in such a way to compensate for magnetic susceptibility differences. A microcoil is placed between these substrates, and the sample is held in a capillary bore within the central substrate, positioned optimally relative to the coil for measurement accuracy.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

Patent Abstract

The susceptibility compensating detector device has a compensation detector device, having three combined similar diamagnetic or paramagnetic and circular cylindrical substrates (3,4) with a micro coil (41), placed between the substrates. The planar coil positions (1,2) are placed in a predetermined distance oppositely in an area of the middle substrate, which has a capillary bore (43) for receiving a sample in a sample volume (10). The capillary bore is placed in a central area (42) preset perpendicular to the coil positions.
