Here we describe how to build a robust spring-transport mechanism for a spinning rotor gauge. This device securely immobilizes the rotor and keeps it under vacuum during transportation. We also describe packaging that minimizes the risk of damage during transport. Tests show our design works for typical shocks during transport.

A progressive colonization procedure is described to further assess its impact on the host hepatic metabolism. Colonization is monitored non invasively by evaluating the urinary excretion of microbial co-metabolites by NMR-based metabolic profiling while hepatic metabolism is assessed by High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HR MAS) NMR profiling of intact biopsy.

Source: Laboratory of Dr. Henrik Sundén – Chalmers University of Technology Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a vital analysis technique for organic chemists. With the help of NMR, the work in the organic lab has been facilitated tremendously. Not only can it provide information about the structure of a molecule but also determine the content and purity of a sample. Compared with other commonly encountered techniques for organic chemists — such as thermal analysis and mass...

The rotor axis is positioned at approximately 54.74° relative to the magnetic field, known as the magic angle. Spinning a rigid sample at this orientation averages anisotropic interactions, which otherwise broaden solid-state NMR signals. The resulting narrower resonances improve spectral resolution, making differences in local chemical environments easier to distinguish.
Rapid spinning helps average interactions that contribute to broad solid-state NMR resonances, supporting sharper spectra. However, rotation also generates substantial centrifugal forces on the sample container. Zirconia is useful in this setting because its high strength and mechanical stability help the rotor withstand the stresses associated with high-speed operation.
Mechanical durability, chemical resistance, and stability under centrifugal forces are central advantages of zirconia rotors. Durability supports repeated high-speed spinning, while chemical resistance helps the container remain suitable for varied powdered or rigid samples. Together, these properties provide a stable measurement environment for relating spectral features to material composition and local bonding.
A powdered or otherwise rigid sample is placed in the zirconia rotor, which is then positioned for spinning at approximately 54.74° to the magnetic field. During acquisition, rapid rotation averages anisotropic interactions and produces narrower resonances. The resulting spectrum can be examined for information about crystal structure, molecular dynamics, composition, and local bonding.
These rotors support solid-state NMR studies of diverse rigid or powdered materials, including crystals, catalysts, ceramics, polymers, and other material systems. Their use allows chemists to investigate how composition and local bonding relate to structural characteristics or material performance. The same measurement principle can therefore support both molecular-level analysis and broader materials research.
By enabling high-speed magic-angle spinning, zirconia rotors help produce spectra with improved resolution from solid samples. Chemists can use those spectra to connect local bonding and composition with crystal structure, molecular dynamics, or performance-related properties. This makes the rotors relevant to investigations of catalysts, ceramics, polymers, and other advanced materials where rigid samples are central to the study.
