Abstract

The use of continuous wave free precession (CWFP) as a practical analytical tool for quantitative determinations in low-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (LRNMR) is examined. The requirements of this technique are shown to be no more demanding than those prevailing in free-induction decay or spin-echo measurements. It is shown that the substantial gain in signal to noise ratio for a given acquisition time permitted by CWFP, can be exploited with advantage in practically any application of LRNMR. This applies not only to homogeneous low viscosity liquid samples but also to multi-component systems where differences in relaxation times of each component permit a separation of the individual contributions. As an example, the use of CWFP for fast quantitative determination of oil and moisture in various seeds is presented.
