Congratulations to Enrica Montinaro and co-authors for their publication in the Journal of PLOS ONE "3D printed microchannels for sub-nL NMR spectroscopy"

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on subnanoliter (sub-nL) volumes are hindered by the limited sensitivity of the detector and the difficulties in positioning and holding such small samples in proximity of the detector. In this work, we report on NMR experiments on liquid and biological entities immersed in liquids having volumes down to 100 pL. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0192780
