Abstract
Benchtop NMR spectroscopy is attractive for process monitoring; however, there are still drawbacks that often hamper its use, namely, the comparatively low spectral resolution in 1H NMR, as well as the low signal intensities and problems with the premagnetization of flowing samples in 13C NMR. We show here that all these problems can be overcome by using 1H-13C polarization transfer methods. Two ternary test mixtures (one with overlapping peaks in the 1H NMR spectrum and one with well-separated peaks, which was used as a reference) were studied with a 1 T benchtop NMR spectrometer using the polarization transfer sequence PENDANT (polarization enhancement that is nurtured during attached nucleus testing). The mixtures were analyzed quantitatively in stationary as well as in flow experiments by PENDANT enhanced 13C NMR experiments, and the results were compared with those from the gravimetric sample preparation and from standard 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, as a proxy for a process monitoring application, continuous dilution experiments were carried out, and the composition of the mixture was monitored in a flow setup by 13C NMR benchtop spectroscopy with PENDANT. The results demonstrate the high potential of polarization transfer methods for applications in quantitative process analysis with benchtop NMR instruments, in particular with flowing samples.

Abstract
Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has three general modalities: spectroscopy, imaging, and relaxometry. In the last twelve years, the modality of spectroscopy, also known as benchtop NMR, compact NMR, or just low-field NMR, has undergone instrumental development due to new permanent magnetic materials and design. As a result, benchtop NMR has emerged as a powerful analytical tool for use in process analytical control (PAC). Nevertheless, the successful application of NMR devices as an analytical tool in several areas is intrinsically linked to its coupling with different chemometric methods. This review focuses on the evolution of benchtop NMR and chemometrics in chemical analysis, including applications in fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, biochemicals, drugs, metabolomics, and polymers. The review also presents different low-resolution NMR methods for spectrum acquisition and chemometric techniques for calibration, classification, discrimination, data fusion, calibration transfer, multi-block and multi-way.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics is a valuable tool for identifying biomarkers and understanding the underlying metabolic changes associated with various diseases. However, the translation of metabolomics analysis to clinical practice has been limited by the high cost and large size of traditional high-resolution NMR spectrometers. Benchtop NMR, a compact and low-cost alternative, offers the potential to overcome these limitations and facilitate the wider use of NMR-based metabolomics in clinical settings. This review summarizes the current state of benchtop NMR for clinical applications where benchtop NMR has demonstrated the ability to reproducibly detect changes in metabolite levels associated with diseases such as type 2 diabetes and tuberculosis. Benchtop NMR has been used to identify metabolic biomarkers in a range of biofluids, including urine, blood plasma and saliva. However, further research is needed to optimize the use of benchtop NMR for clinical applications and to identify additional biomarkers that can be used to monitor and manage a range of diseases. Overall, benchtop NMR has the potential to revolutionize the way metabolomics is used in clinical practice, providing a more accessible and cost-effective way to study metabolism and identify biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY : MRC 2022; 60:1113-1130. [PMID: 35906502 DOI: 10.1002/mrc.5300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The measurement of self-diffusion coefficients using pulsed-field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-established method. Recently, benchtop NMR spectrometers with gradient coils have also been used, which greatly simplify these measurements. However, a disadvantage of benchtop NMR spectrometers is the lower resolution of the acquired NMR signals compared to high-field NMR spectrometers, which requires sophisticated analysis methods. In this work, we use a recently developed quantum mechanical (QM) model-based approach for the estimation of self-diffusion coefficients from complex benchtop NMR data. With the knowledge of the species present in the mixture, signatures for each species are created and adjusted to the measured NMR signal. With this model-based approach, the self-diffusion coefficients of all species in the mixtures were estimated with a discrepancy of less than 2 % compared to self-diffusion coefficients estimated from high-field NMR data sets of the same mixtures. These results suggest benchtop NMR is a reliable tool for quantitative analysis of self-diffusion coefficients, even in complex mixtures.

Abstract
![]()
The comprehensive real-time in situ monitoring of chemical
processes
is a crucial requirement for the in-depth understanding of these processes.
This monitoring facilitates an efficient design of chemicals and materials
with the precise properties that are desired. This work presents the
simultaneous utilization and synergy of two novel time-resolved NMR
methods, i.e., time-resolved diffusion NMR and time-resolved nonuniform
sampling. The first method allows the average diffusion coefficient
of the products to be followed, while the second method enables the
particular products to be monitored. Additionally, the average mass
of the system is calculated with excellent resolution using both techniques.
Employing both methods at the same time and comparing their results
leads to the unequivocal validation of the assignment in the second
method. Importantly, such validation is possible only via the simultaneous
combination of both approaches. While the presented methodology was
utilized for photopolymerization, it can also be employed for any
other polymerization process, complexation, or, in general, chemical
reactions in which the evolution of mass in time is of importance.

PROGRESS IN NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 130-131:1-46.

Abstract
2D NMR is extensively used in many different fields, and its potential for the study of complex biochemical or chemical mixtures has been widely demonstrated. 2D NMR gives the ability to resolve peaks that overlap in 1D spectra, while providing both structural and quantitative information. However, complex mixtures are often analysed in situations where the data acquisition time is a crucial limitation, due to an ongoing chemical reaction or a moving sample from a hyphenated technique, or to the high-throughput requirement associated with large sample collections. Among the great diversity of available fast 2D methods, ultrafast (or single-scan) 2D NMR is probably the most general and versatile approach for complex mixture analysis. Indeed, ultrafast NMR has undergone an impressive number of methodological developments that have helped turn it into an efficient analytical tool, and numerous applications to the analysis of mixtures have been reported. This review first summarizes the main concepts, features and practical limitations of ultrafast 2D NMR, as well as the methodological developments that improved its analytical potential. Then, a detailed description of the main applications of ultrafast 2D NMR to mixture analysis is given. The two major application fields of ultrafast 2D NMR are first covered, i.e., reaction/process monitoring and metabolomics. Then, the potential of ultrafast 2D NMR for the analysis of hyperpolarized mixtures is described, as well as recent developments in oriented media. This review focuses on high-resolution liquid-state 2D experiments (including benchtop NMR) that include at least one spectroscopic dimension (i.e., 2D spectroscopy and DOSY) but does not cover in depth applications without spectral resolution and/or in inhomogeneous fields.

Abstract
This paper investigates the possibility of using benchtop NMR spectroscopy for quantification of illicit drugs (methamphetamine) in binary and ternary mixtures with impurities and cutting agents (N-isopropylbenzylamine, phenethylamine and dimethylsulfone). To avoid handling regulated substances, methamphetamine in our experiments is substituted with amino-2-propanol, which has similar functional groups and chemical structure to methamphetamine and hence a related NMR spectrum. Binary and ternary mixtures at concentrations from 30 mmol/L up to 500 mmol/L for each of these species were measured using a 60 MHz benchtop spectrometer. The spectra were analysed using both integration and a model-based algorithm that relies on a full quantum mechanical description of the studied spin systems. Both techniques were able to quantify the composition of the mixtures. The root mean squared error in the measured concentration using the model-based algorithm was < 10 mmol/L, whereas the error using integration was typically > 20 mmol/L. Thus, we conclude benchtop NMR is viable for quantitative measurements of mixtures of illicit substances, particularly when coupled with a quantum mechanical model for the analysis.

Abstract
This paper investigates the use of a benchtop NMR for quantification of a commonly used frothing agent, methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) in the process water of a coal preparation facility. Solid phase extraction is used to increase the concentration of MIBC in the sample so that it is quantifiable by a benchtop NMR. A polymeric, reversed phase column with methanol as solvent gives a MIBC recovery rate of 67 ± 4% as determined using 400 MHz high-field NMR. The recovery rate consistently falls in the above narrow range even in the presence of diesel and inorganic electrolytes which are likely present as background chemicals in the process water. Using the average MIBC recovery rate, we use a quantum mechanical model to analyse the intensity of MIBC in the benchtop spectra. The quantum mechanical modelling algorithm effectively excludes the effect of the diesel on the measured NMR signal. The quantification error when the inlet concentration of MIBC is between 1 and 12 mg/L (1.2-15 ppm v/v), is within 0.5 mg/L (0.6 ppm v/v).
