2D NMR Methods to Quantify Heparin Composition

Dr. Marco Guerrini, Vice Director of the Ronzoni Institute, Milan, Italy, describes his quantitative experiments using 2D NMR that examine the composition and control the quality of heparin, a commonly used anticoagulant in surgeries. In collaboration with Bruker BioSpin, Dr. Guerrini’s group implemented this new protocol on the AssureNMR, making it possible to completely automatize all operations that were once performed manually.
