We are a process analytical consulting company and analytical testing laboratory with over 45 years of experience in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ("NMR") applied to the petroleum, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and food industries. We specialize particularly in the application of high resolution NMR spectroscopy to on-line applications in the refining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. These applications enable real- time control and optimization of production plant processes that lead to cost savings for the customer. We also market time-domain NMR systems from Resonance Systems Ltd for use in quality control or online analysis of manufacturing processes. These systems can be custom designed and built to meet your sample requirements. NMR components are also sold separately. In partnership with Smiths Detection we have developed a laboratory FTIR-ATR analyzer for the analysis of refinery and petroleum products - the RefinIR.

We own and operate a high field (300 and 200 MHz) analytical NMR service laboratory for both liquid-state multinuclear and multi-dimensional NMR studies, and solid-state multinuclear studies utilizing magic angle spinning and cross polarization techniques. The lab also includes several 60 MHz permanent magnet NMR systems are utilized for process FT-NMR applications, and 3 TD-NMR spectrometers operating at 20, 19.7 and 2.5 MHz are maintained for relaxation studies and low field applications.We also have surface NMR probes for low field NMR investigations.  We also have access to RefinIR analyzers (Mid Infrared ATR Spectrometers), Petrometrix NIR Process Analyzers, and a range of chemometric software for multivariate calibration development.

We offer training programs tailored to develop and enhance small academic or industrial corporation NMR operations. We have developed a series of unique high field NMR chemometric databases that facilitate the expansion of NMR analysis capabilities to yield physical and chemical properties for a broad range of materials. In the context of NMR materials testing we utilize our expertise for litigation support and provide expert witness testimony.
