Collection: NMR Relaxometry

NMR Relaxometry, often referred to as Time-Domain NMR, is a technique used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to study and measure relaxation variables¹. It involves using nuclear magnetic moments to measure specific physical and chemical properties of materials. The relaxation of the nuclear spin system is a key aspect of all NMR applications, as the relaxation rate can reveal information about the mobility and dynamics of the sample’s microscopic environment¹.

In practical terms, NMR Relaxometry can be used to determine properties like stiffness, viscosity, or rigidity of a sample, which are related to atomic and molecular motion within it. This method is particularly useful because it can provide a “fingerprint” of the microscopic dynamics by measuring the relaxation rate as a function of the applied magnetic field strength¹.

Moreover, NMR Relaxometry is valuable for its efficiency and versatility. It allows for the measurement of specific NMR parameters without the need for a full spectrum analysis, saving time and resources. This makes NMR relaxometers, the devices used for this type of measurement, suitable for use as portable express analyzers in various industries, including science, technology, and environmental protection¹.
