Introduction
This manual is planned as a user manual with limited technical detail. The main focus is on
usability, whereas a few easy examples are provided showing how to get started with this
new tool. Through use of this manual the user should get an idea for what the NMR
Thermometer™ might be used for.
The comparability of data (chemical shifts) and results derived from NMR data (diffusion data,
relaxation measurements), as well as the quality of the NMR spectra, depend on an accurate
and precise temperature measurement. That is the reason why the temperature
measurement should ideally take place inside the NMR tube and not outside of it. In general
the temperature sensor of the probe is not reflecting the real situation inside the NMR tube.
The NMR Thermometer not only monitors the temperature, but also compensates for
different heating effects (e.g. RF heating) that occur during an NMR experiment.
