Conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments are limited by their large volume volume. A miniature NMR spectrometer is reported using a partially enclosed miniature permanent magnet and a low-cost solenoid microcoil probe. The miniature NMR spectrometer uses a sample volume smaller than conventional NMR spectrometers by a factor of 1000. Transverse relaxation times were obtained by the miniature spectrometer using 150nL of 40mM copper sulfate, 1M aqueous sucrose, absolute ethanol, and deionized water. The results demonstrate that high signal-to-noise ratios were obtained. The results were also compared with a commercial NMR spectrometer and suitable accuracy of the laboratory-constructed device was obtained. The miniature NMR spectrometer was employed for the characterization of heated soybean oil. The reported miniature NMR spectrometer is anticipated to have applications for onsite detection.
