qNMR - The Mag[net]ic Research Tool

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful spectroscopic tool that is widely used in structural analysis. While the majority of NMR applications is qualitative, quantitative NMR (qNMR) represents a metrological method of analysis with unique capabilites.

The particular power of quantitative NMR arises from several properties: qNMR offers a unique physicochemical view of the analyte based on nuclear magentism, qNMR is a primary analytical method, and qNMR yields qualitative and quantitative information simultaneously. Thus, qNMR is a versatile tool for research projects at the chemistry-biology interface.

Quantitative 1H NMR (qHNMR) has recently been gaining popularity in the analysis of complex natural products such as botanicals dietary supplements.

An update of our 2005 review on qHNMR analysis of natural products, published in the Journal of Natural Products, is currently being prepared and will appear soon. The update will cover the literature from 06/2004-12/2011.
