Abstract:
1. A method of performing high throughput magnetic resonance analysis of one or more samples, the method comprising: selecting a first sample having a first bulk magnetic susceptibility; selecting an assay plate constructed from a material having a second bulk magnetic susceptibility, the assay plate including a plurality of wells; introducing the first sample into at least one of the plurality of wells; inserting a cap into at least one or more of the plurality of the wells, wherein each cap is constructed from a material having a third bulk magnetic susceptibility wherein the cap includes one or more vent holes configured to permit air and/or the sample to be evacuated from the at least one of the plurality of wells; and performing magnetic resonance analysis on the plurality of wells of the assay plate, wherein performing magnetic resonance analysis individually on the wells of the assay plate comprises using the PRESS sequence to acquire NMR spectra from one well at a time.
