Interface liquid chromatography-nuclear magnetic

The coupling of LC (liquid chromatography) with NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy can be considered now to be a standard analytical technique. Today, even more complex systems, which also include mass spectrometry (MS), are used. The question arises as to how such systems are handled efficiently with an increasing cost and a decreasing availability of skilled personal. LC-NMR and LC-NMR/MS combine the well-established techniques of LC, NMR and MS. For each of those techniques, various automation procedures and software packages are available and used in analytical laboratories. However, due to the necessary interfacing of such techniques, completely new demands occur and additional problems have to overcome.
