NMR researchers unlock hydrogen's secrets to spot polymorphism in pharmaceuticals

...MPS solid-state NMR they obtained a spectrum for a tablet formulation in less than 2 hours, which is equivalent to the time required for a good 13C CP mas one dimensional spectrum. Dr Steven Brown said: "This Hydrogen 1H solid-state NMR method gives powerful new insight that complements established Ca...

Virginia Tech helping to develop higher quality, disease-resistant wheat varieties

... genes that confer superior milling and baking qualities. The new technology implemented in this project is called Marker Assisted Selection (MAS). mas involves the direct use of molecular markers that are located in the same chromosome region as the trait of interest to select for genes controlling u...
