Abstract:
1. A device comprising a substrate, the substrate comprising: a space for holding a liquid sample; a magnet capable of generating a static magnetic field across at least a portion of the space; and a microcoil capable of generating an excitation magnetic field across at least a portion of the space; wherein the static magnetic field and the excitation magnetic field are capable of creating Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) within a liquid sample contained in the space; and wherein the microcoil is capable of detecting signals from the NMR or ESR, wherein the substrate comprises an array of spaces for holding liquid samples and wherein each of at least a portion of the microcoils is capable of generating an excitation magnetic field across one of the spaces.
