Hello AMMRL Members,
I am wondering if anyone has ever tried using an EPR quartz tube for NMR experiments. If so, have you had any problems (interference, distortions, shimming problems etc.)? I am also concerned about the precision of the EPR tubes compared to NMR tubes.
A student is interested in acquiring NMR data (1H and 13C) before and after a sample is irradiated with UV light. The student would like the sample to be in a quartz tube for UV spectroscopy as well. Since their sample is extremely air/moisture sensitive they want to keep it in the same sample holder for both experiments to minimize exposure to the atmosphere. Since they do not plan on doing these types of experiments often, they do not want to invest in a quartz NMR tube (other groups have 5mm EPR tubes that they can borrow).
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel
