A non-destructive, quantitative analytical technique, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an essential component of Aerial’s technological arsenal. By providing both qualitative and quantitative insights into the chemical composition of matter, NMR enables the detailed characterization of simple and complex systems, the monitoring of transformation processes, and the study of molecular interactions. This versatile technique finds applications across agriculture, food, health, biology, materials, and environmental sciences.
NMR platform is operated by a dedicated, multidisciplinary team, offering expert support in R&D, training, and technical assistance. At the heart of our facility is a high-field spectrometer (9.4 Tesla, 400 MHz) equipped with:
An HR-MAS probe (Dual 4mm, up to 15 kHz) optimized for ¹H and ¹³C nuclei.
A CP-MAS probe (broad band 4mm, up to 15 kHz) for ¹H, ¹³C, and nuclei from ¹⁵N to ³¹P
An auto-sampler for liquids and advanced software for robust database management and data mining.
Evaluating food authenticity and integrity (e.g., determining the geographical origin of green and roasted coffees), detecting irradiated foods, and performing multiparametric analyses for predictive microbiology.
Conducting qualitative and quantitative characterizations, such as analyzing dendronized iron oxide nanoparticles and studying functional microbial polysaccharides.
Developing methods for detecting ligand-macromolecule interactions using ¹⁹F NMR, and monitoring inflammation markers in skin samples.
Aerial’s NMR platform offers a comprehensive and versatile solution for detailed material analysis, driven by a team whose multidisciplinary expertise ensures that all projects—whether market-driven or fundamental—are executed with the highest level of precision and scientific rigor.
