iSpin-NMR
The iSpin-NMR can serve as a complete console for NMR or NQR with spectrometer frequencies from 0 to 100 MHz. NMR experiments can be performed once connected to a probe placed in a magnetic field. SpinCore Technologies, Inc. also markets permanent magnets, probes, and BNC connections specific to the frequency of interest. The iSpin-NMR console is simply the radio-frequency generation and amplification electronics.
