Abstract

Undergraduate students can find some aspects of NMR Spectroscopy daunting, and difficult to understand. Due to their flexibility and ease-of-use, 'benchtop' spectrometers can help to clarify key concepts and enhance learning. Here we suggest approaches to demystifying resolution, sensitivity, magnetic field variation and its consequent impact on spectra, quantitation and mixtures.
