Patent ID: 7271592

Claim:
An analytical device configured for non-invasive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of multiple samples comprising: at least one continuous sample container tube containing at least one sample for analysis, said continuous sample tube forming at least one sample container tube loop section and having associated transport sections, each of said at least one sample container tube loops having a sample inlet end and a sample exit end wherein the sample inlet end and the sample exit end of each of the at least one sample container tube loops are bent back towards one another in order to bring both inlet and exit ends into close proximity to one another; a separate conductor element wrapped around the loop section of the at least one of said sample container tube loops, for each of the sample container tube loops present which are contained within the at least one continuous sample container tube, said conductor alternately generating a RF magnetic field configured for NMR interrogation and reception of an NMR signal from a sample; and a multiplexer coupled to at least one of each of said one or more conductor elements receiving said NMR signals from said one or more conductor elements.
