β-detected NMR is a powerful measurement tool to investigate dynamic processes as for instance DNA - alkali metal interactions. Yet, using liquid sample hosts in a high vacuum setup poses challenges.
In this thesis colloquium I will introduce a liquid sample dispensing system that I developed, tested and improved together with the VITO team in the framework of my Master Thesis Project in order to overcome these issues and to perform liquid β-NMR measurements at our beamline. An introduction to the topic will be followed by a presentation of the system as well as the tests and improvements it has undergone. The talk will be rounded up by a discussion of the performance of the system and an outlook for further possible improvements.
The actual colloquium will start at 11:00.
