Abstract

A pulsed NMR analysis system and process comprising sample throughput system (P, LI, V1, V2) and user system controls (104) to establish digitized free induction decay curves (C), from which components functions are determined using non-linear regression techniques to correlate the curve components to the target nuclei.
