ABSTRACT:
NMR spectroscopy employing flow-encoding magnetic field gradient pulses provide velocity sensitivity. Spectroscopic analysis of constituents of a sample can be obtained and separated by velocity. Fluid samples to be analyzed are passed through a chromatography column in order to cause different constituents of the sample to pass at different velocities. The sample is then subjected to a velocity sensitive NMR encoding sequence. Data is acquired from the sample which allows a spectroscopic analysis of a constituent of the sample. Signals from molecules of a constituent travelling at a desired velocity can be selectively detected, thereby providing information concerning the molecular weight of the detected molecule. NMR spectra of a mixture of molecules having differing molecular weights and absorption properties can be resolved into their individual constituents. The velocity sensitive NMR encoding and data acquisition may also be employed to determine the chemical composition of a fluid such as blood moving through a living organism.
