Abstract

Provided is an NMR arrangement, including an NMR device, a storage system for storing sample tubes, and a transport system for transporting the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage system. The storage system is mechanically decoupled from the NMR device. Furthermore, the transport system includes a first guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the storage system; a second guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the NMR device; and a sample tube carrier that can be moved between the first guiding element and the second guiding element so as to transport the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage.
