Patent ID: 7145340

Claim:
A magnetic resonance spectrometer apparatus comprising: a sample probe located in a bore of the spectrometer; a liquid sample container having a first opening at a first end of a longitudinal axis of the container and a second opening at a second end of the longitudinal axis, the sample container being configured to fit, at least partially, within a channel of the probe; a liquid input conduit having a first end connected to the first opening of the sample container and a second end that extends out of a first end of the spectrometer bore to allow connection to a liquid sample source; and a liquid output conduit having a first end connected to the second opening of the sample container and a second end that extends out of an end of the spectrometer bore opposite the first end, such that, while the sample container resides, at least partially, in the probe, a liquid sample may be introduced to the sample container via the input conduit, and withdrawn from the sample container via the output conduit.
