Time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) is an analytical technique that measures how nuclear spins respond over time to radiofrequency (RF) pulses. This time-dependent signal can be used to derive practical physical parameters including viscosity, porosity, and particle size, among others. Unlike high-field spectroscopic NMR, TD-NMR runs at lower magnetic fields using compact, low-cost, room-temperature magnets, making it well suited to accessible and deployable instrumentation.
At TTP, we see TD-NMR as a versatile, cost-effective platform for material characterisation, whether as a benchtop tool or embedded within in-line measurement systems. This whitepaper introduces the TD-NMR fundamentals and highlights where the approach can add value across a range of industries.
