About NMR A&C

 

 

“Our mission is to help or clients solve their research and quality control issues through the use of NMR spectroscopy.”

 

 

NMR A&C uses NMR technology to solve production and synthesis problems for commercial and academic clients.  This may mean simply supplying NMR data.   However, we often get much more involved in the clients issues.    We may identify synthetic products and by-products by using 1H and 13C NMR and sometimes more advanced NMR technologies, together with the reactant information from the synthetic chemist.  We may determine the stereochemical configuration of a pharmaceutical product.  We routinely assay chemical purities of pharmaceutical materials giving percent purities.   We identify fermentation products, monomer contents of many different types of polymers, impurities that may be present in various materials, substitutions in starch products.   There are many other problems that we have used NMR to solve.

 

 

“Our clients are manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, polymers and food products, as well as universities.”

 

 

We started business in August 1996 with a Varian VXR 4000 purchased from Tate and Lyle, Inc. with the understanding of our providing NMR services to them.  We have added many more clients in the pharmaceutical, polymer and specialty chemical industries. We replaced the old Varian console and computer with a new state of the art Tecmag Apollo System in August 2005.  The Apollo system runs on a MS Windows XP computer system, making it easy to send clients data directly over the internet.
