CAT on MOUSE: Control and automation of temperature for single‐sided NMR instruments such as NMR‐MOUSE

Abstract

Temperature‐dependent experiments are a rapidly growing area of interest for low‐field NMR. In this work, we present a new device for wide‐range temperature control for single‐sided NMR instruments. The presented device, called CAT, is simple to build, inexpensive, and easy to modify to accommodate different samples. We present the capabilities of the device using a freezing temperature study of acetic acid/water mixtures. Additionally, we present the stability of the device over long measurement times. We believe that by introducing such a device with an open‐source design, we allow researchers to use it in a wide range of applications and to fully incorporate variable‐temperature studies in the world of single‐sided instruments.
