9.1 Magnet Location
When locating the magnet, certain considerations must be made with regards to the
laboratory environment:
• To increase magnet homogeneity, the magnet should be located away from permanent
iron structures such as support beams in walls and floors. Reference: Electromagnetic
Interference [}52].
• To increase temperature stability, the magnet should not be placed in direct sunlight or
near any artificial heat source. The magnet should also not be placed under or in close
proximity to air-vents or in an area that experiences air drafts. Air should not be blown
directly down or towards the NMR magnet.
• When possible, avoid a situation where a significant stray field (>5 G / 0.5 mT) extends
into adjacent rooms.
• There should be free access to the magnet from all sides.
