A Novel Approach for the Environmental Study of Organisms in their Natural State

This application note demonstrates the capabilities of multiphase NMR in providing molecular analyses of complex heterogeneous samples. Typical analytical approaches to environmental research rely on sample processing, such as extractions that provide only a selective window into the true natural state. The integration of concepts from different fields of NMR spectroscopy enables us to produce a novel comprehensive approach that can be used to study and differentiate between the various phases in a heterogeneous sample as well as identify the key structures and their molecular interactions within each phase.
