What is the LC-NMR Technique?

Liquid Chromatography-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LC-NMR) is a hybrid analytical approach that combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the molecular-level detail of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In this technique, chromatographic separation isolates individual components within complex mixtures, which are then directly transferred to the NMR detector for detailed structural analysis. This seamless integration allows researchers to obtain comprehensive information on both the identity and structure of compounds without requiring extensive sample preparation. LC-NMR is particularly valued for its ability to characterize unknown components and reveal subtle structural variations that other techniques may overlook.
