Abstract

There is provided a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurement cell for use with a solution enabling the introduction of a gas into said solution. The measurement cell includes at least a detection volume designed to be installed in a static magnetic field of an NMR spectrometer, and includes in said detection volume, a gas introduction zone, a measurement chamber for the solution at a distance from the gas introduction zone and a network of conduits for the solution formed to set up fluid communication between the gas introduction zone and the measurement chamber. The gas introduction zone includes at least one gas inlet in the network of conduits, to generate bubbles in the gas introduction zone only. There is also provided a method of manufacturing such a measurement cell and a measurement assembly including such a measurement cell.
