    Abstract: A high-frequency interface circuit to direct transmitted signals to a connector (PR) for a HF arrangement in a transmit mode via an input (TX) of the high-frequency interface circuit and received signals from the connector (PR) to a receiver system in a receive mode via an output (RX) of the high-frequency interface circuit is presented. The circuit includes a transmit path (SP) linking the input (TX) to the connector (PR) and a receive path (EP) linking the connector (PR) to the output (RX). The receive path (EP) includes a first circuit (K1), with at least a first switching element (S1) that is electro-conductive in transmit mode and is electrically insulating in receive mode, connected to the connector (PR). In transmit mode, the first circuit (K1) forms two parallel resonance circuits connected in series, while in receive mode, the first circuit (K1) includes two series resonance circuits connected in parallel.

    Abstract: An arrangement for setting the spatial profile of a magnetic field in a working volume of a main field magnet (2), in particular a superconducting main field magnet, of a magnetic resonance installation. The main field magnet is arranged in a cryostat (1) and the spatial profile is set by a passive shim apparatus (3) with magnetic field forming elements which are arranged within the cryostat during operation and which have cryogenic temperatures. The magnetic resonance installation contains a room temperature tube (4), in which the sample volume is situated during operation. The passive shim apparatus is introduced into or removed from the cold region of the cryostat via a vacuum lock (5), without needing to ventilate the cold region of the cryostat. This provides a relatively simple, cost effective, and time-efficient method to carry out a stable field homogenization using a passive shim apparatus.

    Abstract: A magnet system generates a highly stable magnetic field at a sample location. The magnet system has a magnet cryostat housing a first superconducting magnet coil and a second magnet coil co-axial to the first magnet coil. The second magnet coil is short-circuited in a superconducting persistent mode during operation of the magnet system. An external power supply during operation supplies current to the first magnet coil via a current lead thereby generating a first magnetic field at the sample location that fluctuates according to the current noise of the power supply, wherein the second magnet coil is positioned and dimensioned in a way that it inductively couples to the first magnet coil such that it generates at the sample location a second magnetic field that compensates the fluctuations of the first magnetic field.

    Abstract: Monitoring cell (100) for performing an NMR measurement of a reaction fluid. The monitoring cell (100) has a hollow NMR sample probe (110) for receiving the reaction fluid. Inlet and outlet transport capillaries (112, 123) transport the reaction fluid to and from the sample probe (110). A feed line (306) and return line transport a temperature control fluid to and from the monitoring cell (100). An adapter head (108) couples the transport capillaries (112, 123) to the sample probe (110) and removably connects the sample probe (110) to an adapter section (106). The transport capillaries (112, 123) are positioned within the feed line (306) in parallel to one another. The feed and the return lines (306, 358) are attached to the adapter section (106) such that a reversal of the temperature control fluid stream occurs in the adapter section (106).

    Abstract: A microwave resonator for an EPR probe head has a metal cavity body (1) supporting an electromagnetic microwave resonance mode. The metal cavity body (1) has an opening for inserting a sample tube (2) to a center position of the resonator. The center of the opening and the center position of the resonator define an x-axis. The cavity body also has an opening for transmitting microwave radiation into the resonator. Two dielectric elements (4a, 4b) are located symmetrically to the E-field nodal plane containing the x-axis and a z-axis perpendicular to the x-axis. Each dielectric element is geometrically formed and positioned such that it provides an equal overlap with a local maximum of the microwave electric field energy. The microwave resonant cavity has a thin planar shape and the resonator is loaded with two dielectric elements, placed symmetrically relative to the central EPR sample.

    Abstract: An NMR DNP-MAS probe head (10) has an MAS stator (2) for receiving an MAS rotor (3) having a sample substance in a sample volume (4), and a hollow microwave waveguide (5)′ for feeding microwave radiation through an opening (5a) of the microwave waveguide into the sample volume, an axially expanded rod-shaped microwave coupler (6) located in the opening made of dielectric material, characterized in that the microwave waveguide has a conically tapered hollow transition piece for coupling in an HE 11 mode, into which the microwave coupler projects at an all-round radial distance to the opening of the microwave waveguide. It is thus possible, in a surprisingly simple manner and by means of readily available technical means, to irradiate a considerably higher microwave energy in the HE 11 mode into the NMR measuring sample than by means of the known arrangements.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a means and a method for stabilizing a magnetic field generated by a superconductingly short-circuited main coil located in a cryostat in the measuring volume of a high-resolution magnetic resonance spectrometer, which comprises compensation coils which are dimensioned and positioned such that they, in their entirety, are suited to largely compensate for field drifts of the superconductingly short-circuited main coil in the measuring volume. The drift compensation coils consist of HTS material and are disposed radially outside of the main coil at a higher temperature level.

    Abstract: Fast quantitative NMR data acquisition for NMR scans performed on a sample is provided. Scan batches on the sample are performed, where each batch comprises a long delay scan, followed by a set of short delay scans. Each scan is associated with a corresponding scan time point in relation to the long delay scan time point of the respective scan batch. For each corresponding scan time point, aggregated NMR spectrum portions are determined showing a decay over time, which is fitted with an exponential decay function. An averaged integral loss is computed for each scan time point. For each NMR spectrum of the scan batches, an integral associated with a respective region of interest is multiplied with a corresponding correction factor. The integrals associated with the corrected NMR spectra are summed to obtain a representation of the NMR signal intensity in the region of interest for the sample.
