Short summary
Investigating NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) phenomena at variable magnetic fields is useful and insightful for hyperpolarization and molecular dynamics in particular. To benefit from high-resolution at high magnetic fields, field-dependent investigations can be performed using a high-field NMR spectrometer, with a sample shuttle apparatus for field cycling. Here, we introduce a new design of a sample shuttle which is fast, reliable, and narrow. We show a series of applications involving small molecules and a protein in solution.
