With the increased sensitivity of modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, the minimum amount needed for chemical-shift referencing of NMR spectra has decreased to a point where a few microliters can be sufficient to observe a reference signal. The reduction in the amount of required reference material is the basis for the NMR Capillary-tube Package (CapPack) platform that utilizes capillary tubes with inner diameters smaller than 150 µm as NMR-tube inserts for external reference standards. It is shown how commercially available electrophoresis capillary tubes with outer diameters of 360 µm are filled with reference liquids or solutions and then permanently …

Porous-wall hollow glass microspheres (PWHGMs) are a novel form of glass materials that consist of 1-μm-thick porous silica shells, 20-100 μm in diameter, with a hollow cavity in the center. Utilizing the central cavity for material storage and the porous walls for controlled release is a unique combination that renders PWHGMs a superior vehicle for targeted drug delivery. In this study, NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize PWHGMs for the first time. A vacuum-based loading system was developed to load PWHGMs with various compounds followed by a washing procedure that uses solvents immiscible with the target material. Immiscible binary model …
