Patent ID: 7345484

Claim:
An NMR probe adapted to be used for high-temperature NMR measurements, said NMR probe comprising: two tubular heating means mounted respectively immediately below and immediately above an area to be measured by NMR spectroscopy; a coil bobbin on which an NMR detection coil is mounted; a first heat transfer pipe mounted inside said coil bobbin separated from said coil bobbin and disposed in contact with the inside of a tube formed by said heating means mounted immediately below the area to be measured, the pipe extending upward from said heating means, the pipe covering an area located below said area to be measured; and a second heat transfer pipe mounted inside said coil bobbin separated from said coil bobbin and disposed inside of a tube formed by said heating means mounted immediately above the area to be measured, the second pipe extending downward from said heating means, said second pipe covering an area located over the area to be measured; wherein a sample tube is inserted in contact with the inside the two transfer pipes and a sample inside the sample tube is heated by heat that is transferred from the two heating means via the heat transfer pipes.
