NMR Solvent Selection
When selecting a solvent for running Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) analysis, typically a deuterated solvent is used in order to minimize background signals and provide a lock signal to compensate for drifts in the magnetic field1. ...
Rapid screening protocol for taxonomic identification of rhino horns developed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
“Illegal trafficking in rhino horn threatens to reverse decades of rhino conservation work in Africa and Asia, driving rhinos to the brink of extinction in the wild.” -U.S. Fish & Wildlife Dr. Edgard Espinoza is the Laboratory Deputy Director at the National...
Types of Solvent Evaporators – An Overview
Removal of solvents is a common need in any organic chemistry lab and often times the major “bottleneck” in a synthetic workup, thereby slowing down production. Additionally, evaporation of solvent is required for recovery of samples analyzed by NMR...
