Get the best experience in the world of qNMR
Monday November 17, 11:00 – 13:30, Day 1, Session 1: NMR Tube Preparation
This session will cover the preparation of NMR tubes to ensure reliable and reproducible measurements. Participants will learn best practices for sample dissolution, the choice of solvents, and the proper filling of tubes to minimize variations in signal intensity. Special attention will be given to the preparation of tubes for both direct DS determination and internal/external standard methods.
Monday November 17, 15:00 – 17:30, Day 1, Session 2: Acquisition of NMR spectra
Accurate and consistent data acquisition is critical for obtaining high-quality NMR spectra. In this session, experts will guide participants through the optimal selection of acquisition parameters, including pulse sequences, relaxation delays, spectral width, and resolution settings. The goal is to standardize data collection across different laboratories to ensure meaningful comparisons.
Tuesday November 18, 10:00 – 12:30, Day 2, Session 3: Processing of NMR spectra
Once spectra have been acquired, proper processing is essential for extracting relevant information. This session will focus on key processing parameters such as phase correction, baseline correction, and signal integration. Participants will explore different software tools and techniques to optimize spectral interpretation and ensure accurate DS calculations.
Tuesday November 18, 15:00 – 17:30, Day 2, Session 4: Statistical Data Analysis
To ensure robustness and reproducibility, statistical methods will be applied to the processed data. This session will guide participants through techniques for comparing integrals, evaluating measurement uncertainty, and applying statistical models to refine DS determination. Special emphasis will be placed on data normalization, Gaussian fitting, and inter-laboratory comparisons.
Wednesday November 19, 10:00 – 12:30, Day 3, Award Ceremony
The final session will be dedicated exclusively to the announcement of the results and the award ceremony. There will be no discussions or presentations during this session. The winning team, determined based on the accuracy of NMR measurements using a Gaussian distribution of submitted values, will be officially recognized. This session will serve as a closing event, celebrating the achievements of all participants and highlighting the most successful methodologies in the competition.
At the end of this session, the qNMR Summit will be officially introduced. This event, starting at 13:00 on November 19, will bring together leading experts in quantitative NMR to discuss the latest advancements, methodologies, and applications in the field.
