NMR – MQC

Description:

The MQC+ benchtop NMR analyser measures oil, water, fluorine and solid fat in a variety of samples and is typically used for quality assurance and quality control. Analysis using the MQC+ takes from a few seconds to a few minutes, which means that a high volume of samples can be processed quickly and efficiently. As NMR signals are generated from all parts of the sample not just the surface, even if they are opaque, more accurate measurements are guaranteed. NMR measurements do not damage the sample in any way, so samples can be kept for repeat measurements or to be analysed using other techniques.

• Rapid analysis – process a high volume of samples quickly and efficiently
•  No hazardous solvents or chemicals-removes the need for fume cabinets, specially trained staff & expensive disposal procedures
•  Cost-efficient – low maintenance and running costs

The MQC+ is a compact benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analyser. It is available as three models: MQC+23, MQC+5 and MQC+F. MQC+23 is used for smaller samples and high sensitivity applications; for example it is used to measure small amounts of oil applied to artificial fibres and fabrics to enhance their properties. MQC+5 is used for large samples, typically agricultural products; measuring the oil, and moisture content in oilseeds. MQC+F is used to measure fluorine in toothpaste and minerals.

The MQC+ NMR analyser replaces wet chemical analysis, which uses hazardous chemicals. It allows you to measure more samples much faster. Unlike wet chemical methods, the MQC+ doesn’t destroy the sample being measured. It can also measure physical properties including crystallinity and density of polymers.

Features

MQC+ is fast and very easy to use. It can make over 100 measurements per day which is up to 250 times faster than using wet chemical methods. Lab technicians will be productive in a very short time as minimal training is required. The software provides step by step operator guidance with clear on-screen prompts and there are status indicator lights at the sample chamber entrance. The MQC+ is easy to look after – parts which need cleaning are all easy to remove. The automatic magnetic field optimisation routine ensures best results whilst also reducing costs and increasing uptime. MQC+ belongs to a new generation of magnetic resonance instruments meaning it will benefit from enhancements to the platform for years to come.
