NMR/MRI Used For Molecular Imaging Through Micro-fluidic Devices.

molecular_MRIIn a recent study, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were used to capture images of materials flowing through micro-fluidic "lab-on-a-chip" devices and focus on microscopic particles of special interest with new, unprecedented spatial and time resolutions. The study was conducted by chemist Alexander Pines and his researching team, in cooperation with the University of California (UC) at Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The study is highlighted in the journal Science, in a paper named "Zooming in on Microscopic Flow by Remotely Detected MRI."
