NMR testing laboratory · Poughkeepsie, New York · Since 1997
Industrial NMR spectroscopy, from sample to answer
Process NMR Associates is an analytical testing laboratory and process-analytical consultancy applying 300 MHz and 60 MHz NMR spectroscopy, FTIR, UV-Vis and HPLC-DAD to problems in every industrial sector — from routine QA/QC testing to method development, at-line and on-line applications and expert testimony.
What we do
NMR answers for industry
Six of the areas in which Process NMR Associates is most often asked for help. Every application below is backed by published methods, presentations and white papers.
Aloe Vera Analysis by ¹H qNMR
Identification and quantification of acemannan (Aloverose), the polysaccharide marker of authentic aloe vera, together with isocitrate whole-leaf markers, preservatives, additives, degradation products and adulterants. PNA authored the AHP monograph method.

Alcoholic Beverages
A single ¹H qNMR experiment fingerprints beer, wine, cider, sake, mead, kombucha and spirits: alcohols, organic acids, dextrins and sugars, fermentation products and amino acids in mg/L — for QA/QC, troubleshooting, blending and nutrition labels.
Learn more
Benchtop & Process NMR
60 MHz permanent-magnet benchtop NMR in the laboratory, at-line or in-line. Direct methods and chemometric models are developed to relate the chemical and physical properties of industrial samples to their NMR spectra.

Expert Witness & Consulting
NMR expertise for litigation, product authentication, patent matters, research and development, method development and training.
Learn more
Petroleum & Petrochemicals
¹H and ¹³C NMR of crude oils, refinery streams, fuels, lubricants, polymers and petrochemicals, including at-line and on-line process NMR.
Learn more
USP Phospholipid Analysis
³¹P qNMR of phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine in krill oil, lecithin and dairy ingredients.

Testing, development and expertise
Liquid-state NMR
Multinuclear and multidimensional ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ¹⁹F and more, from routine spectra to full qNMR reports.
02Benchtop NMR
Application development, feasibility testing and method transfer from 300 MHz on 60 MHz permanent-magnet systems.
03FTIR, UV-Vis and HPLC-DAD
Orthogonal confirmation, chemometric FTIR models and HPLC-DAD methods for botanicals, beverages and foods.
04Automated applications
Turnkey NMR methods that run without expert operators, for high-throughput QA/QC.
05Consulting
Method development, validation, training and process-analytical strategy.
06Expert witness
NMR evidence and testimony in authentication, adulteration and patent disputes.
The laboratory
300 MHz and 60 MHz NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis and HPLC-DAD under one roof
The laboratory runs 300 MHz and 60 MHz NMR side by side with FTIR, UV-Vis and HPLC-DAD, so a question can be answered by the technique that fits it and confirmed by an orthogonal one.
- 300 MHz NMRTwo Varian Mercury 300 MHz spectrometers with ATB and four-nucleus 5 mm probes, a 10 mm broadband probe, pulsed field gradients and variable temperature.
- 60 MHz NMRPermanent-magnet benchtop FT-NMR systems for at-line, on-line and chemometric application development and method transfer.
- FTIR and UV-VisFTIR-ATR for identification, screening and chemometric models; UV-Vis spectrophotometry for quantitative work.
- HPLC-DADLiquid chromatography with diode-array detection for testing, method development and standard qualification.
