• A powerful technique for the characterization of the exact structure of raw materials, intermediates and finished products.

• Can determine impurities, including enantiomeric impurities, without separation, down to ca the 10% level and 1% level with two-dimensional spectroscopy.

• Can potentially be used for fingerprinting mixtures.

• Has good potential for non-destructive quantitative analysis of drugs in formulations without prior separation.

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relies on the properties of spin to obtain images.
