What Does HRMAS Stand For?

HRMAS stands for High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning

HRMAS, or High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning, is a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique that enables the study of solid and semi-solid samples with enhanced resolution. By spinning samples at a specific angle relative to the magnetic field, HRMAS minimizes the effects of dipolar interactions and chemical shift anisotropy, resulting in detailed spectral information. This method is particularly valuable in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, as it allows for the analysis of complex molecular structures and dynamics without the need for extensive sample preparation.
