✦ Synopsis
The development of an NMR probe operating at high pressure is described. It can operate up to 1.5 kbar, with a burst pressure of 2 kbar. The pressure chamber consists of a simple cylinder built from Ðbre-glassÈ epoxy resin composite material. Its internal diameter is 6 mm. The main 1H coil is buried in the composite material. Simple O-ring seals are used, mounted on a conical housing. This set-up allows the mounting of an additional coil at ambient pressure, acting through the composite material, with little loss of efficiency compared with a regular NMR probe, thus allowing the acquisition of heteronuclear NMR experiments. The sensitivity and resolution permit 1D and 2D studies of aqueous solutions of large biomolecules such as proteins.
