Industrial uses diagnostic

Of the many areas where NMR is applied these days, two can be considered as being established. The most important is certainly its use for structure elucidation, from small molecules up to medium-sized proteins in solution no university with an analytical lab can afford to be without a liquid-state, high-resolution NMR system. Most chemistry students will come into contact with NMR at least once during their courses. Second, is diagnostic medical imaging, which many of us may have experienced personally. From the first crude and blurred NMR images that were acquired over 30 years ago, incredible developments have been achieved by the efforts of researchers and industry alike. 

The methods developed by us for preparation of these dendrimer-based reagents are quite general and have the potential of application to a large variety of molecules that have utility in diagnostics, therapeutics, biocatalysis, enzymol-ogy and food processing industry.
