A joint paper was published with the RIKEN-JEOL Collaboration Center, Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS), University of Warwick, and JEOL RESONANCE Inc. This article has also been featured on the cover! Highlights: Selective detection of 1H signals of API in a tablet formulation is proposed. 1H signals of excipients are suppressed. 1H signals in the vicinity of nuclei (here 14N) which only appear in API are excited. 1H{14N} magnetization is diffused to 1Hs in API crystals by RFDR recoupling.   Link to the ...

The alcohol content of beverages is tightly regulated, and determination of alcohol content in beverages is important for labeling compliance and quality control.  Traditional testing methods for alcohol content are typically based upon measurements of physical properties such as specific gravity (relative density) and refractive index.  Standardized methods for determination of alcohol by volume use a distillation method to determine specific gravity.  Headspace gas chromatography is typically used in forensic laboratories when there is ...
