Azimuthally-orienting NMR samples

In some embodiments, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample container (124) having an elongated transverse cross-section is held in a predetermined azimuthal orientation in an NMR probe by keying-in a sample container holder (122) into a matching azimuthal-alignment adapter (126). The azimuthal-a...

Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample container (124) having an elongated transverse cross-section is held in a predetermined azimuthal orientation in an NMR probe by keying-in a sample container holder (122) into a matching azimuthal-alignment adapter (126). The azimuthal-alignment adapter (126) may be a lead-in adapter having an azimuthally-sloping upper guiding surface (132) of a cylindrical shell part, with the sloping guiding surface (132) leading into a longitudinal channel (134) defined through the shell wall. A transversely-protruding pin (130) of the sample container holder (122) slides down the guiding surface (132) and into the longitudinal channel (134) to lock the sample in the desired azimuthal orientation.
