A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Online-NMR Spektroskopie in der PAT - Entwicklungen zwischen Labor- und Feldeinsatz N2 - Die NMR-Spektroskopie ist eine der zentralen nicht-invasiven Analysenmethoden in der organischen Chemie und aus dem Laboralltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die direkte Proportionalität zwischen der Anzahl der Atomkerne im Messvolumen und der Signalfläche im Spektrum ist vergleichbar mit einem „Zählen der Kernspins“. Der Kalibrieraufwand für die Quantifizierung ist minimal und aus dem NMR-Spektrum sind Informationen zu Struktur und Identität zugänglich. Online-NMR-Spektroskopie wird unter Zuhilfenahme von speziellen Durchflussproben-köpfen und Messzellen bereits seit Jahrzehnten erforscht und eingesetzt. Durch die hohen Anforderungen an die Aufstellung und den Betrieb von klassischen Hochfeld-NMR-Spektrometern konnte sie allerdings nie den Sprung vom Labor in den Prozess schaffen. Dies hat sich durch die Entwicklungen im Bereich mobil einsetzbarer Benchtop-NMR-Spektrometer grundlegend verändert. Geringere Investitions- und Betriebskosten, sowie die Robustheit und einfache Bedienbarkeit dieser Systeme sind entscheidende Faktoren. Damit rückt eine Anwendung als Online-PAT-Methode technisch in greifbare Nähe. Designierte Prozess-NMR-Spektrometer sucht man heutzutage allerdings auf dem Markt meist noch vergebens. Die Reaktionsverfolgung im Labormaßstab konnte an unterschiedlichen Systemen erfolgreich demonstriert werden. Dabei zeigten sich allerdings Limitierungen in Hinblick auf einen möglichen Prozesseinsatz. Insbesondere die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Magnetsysteme ist hier zu nennen. Anhand eines Prototyps wurde eine aktive Temperaturisolation mittels temperierter Luftströmungen entwickelt und erprobt. Eine Feldintegration von Laborsystemen geht sowohl technisch als auch regulatorisch mit zahlreichen Herausforderungen einher. Das raue Umfeld von Produktionsanlagen, sowie die Anforderungen an Explosionsschutz erfordern eine zugelassene Einhausung. Auf Basis von Erfahrungen mit einem ersten Prototyp erfolgte die gemeinsame Entwicklung eines möglichst flexibel einsetzbaren Analysenschranks. Neben der Hardware-Integration sind die automatisierte modellbasierte Auswertung der NMR-Spektren, sowie die Einbindung in die Prozessleittechnik essenziell für einen zuverlässigen Betrieb als PAT-Analysengerät.

As a primary method, it differs fundamentally from chromatographic methods: it is better described as a quantum mechanical balance. Succesful implementation of qNMR requires certain attention to detail. "qNMR - the handbook" is intended to be a guide for analysts to help understand the fundamental principles of NMR and the significant points relating to its implementation for quantitation. Regulatory considerations of qNMR adoption are explained. NMR fundamentals are explained to provide understanding. Together with many useful examples, the book is a compelling addition to the laboratory's reference library, providing all the tools that any practitioner should know to successfully implement qNMR. The authors are qNMR pioneers and come from a variety of backgrounds including business, government and academia.

T1 - Quantitative 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (qNMR) of Aromatic Amino Acids for Protein Quantification JF - Methods and Protocols N2 - Hydrolysis of protein samples into amino acids facilitates the use of NMR spectroscopy for protein and peptide quantification. Different conditions have been tested for quantifying aromatic amino acids and proteins. The pH-dependent signal shifts in the aromatic region of amino acid samples were examined. A pH of 12 was found to minimize signal overlap of the four aromatic amino acids. Several aromatic compounds, such as terephthalic acid, sulfoisophthalic acid, and benzene tricarboxylic acid, were applied as internal standards. The quantification of amino acids from an amino acid standard was performed. Using the first two suggested internal standards, recovery was ~97% for histidine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine at a concentration of approximately 1 mM in solution. Acidic hydrolysis of a certified reference material (CRM) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and subsequent quantification of Phe and Tyr yielded recoveries of 98% ± 2% and 88% ± 4%, respectively, at a protein concentration of 16 g/L or 250 µM.

Widespread application of the technique is currently hampered mainly by the low sensitivity of NIR spectroscopy compared to thermo-analytical approaches commonly used for this type of analysis. This study shows how the application of NIR spectroscopy for mass quantification of microplastics can be extended to smaller analyte levels by combining it with a simple and rapid microplastic enrichment protocol. For this purpose, the widely used flotation of microplastics in a NaCl solution, accelerated by centrifugation, was chosen which allowed to remove up to 99 % of the matrix at recovery rates of 83–104 %. The spectroscopic measurements took place directly on the stainless-steel filters used to collect the extracted particles to reduce sample handling to a minimum. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) models were used to identify and quantify the extracted microplastics in the mass range of 1–10 mg. The simple and fast extraction procedure was systematically optimized to meet the requirements for the quantification of microplastics from common PE-, PP-, and PS-based packaging materials with a particle size < 1 mm found in compost or soils with high natural organic matter content (> 10 % determined by loss on ignition). Microplastics could be detected in model samples at a mass fraction of 1 mg g-1. The detectable microplastic mass fraction is about an order of magnitude lower compared to previous studies using NIR spectroscopy without additional enrichment. To emphasize the cost-effectiveness of the method, it was implemented using some of the cheapest and most compact NIR spectrometers available.

Based on experiences from these field studies an improved analyzer enclosure setup was developed and built, including the option of a secondary method besides NMR spectroscopy. Integrated control systems allow for a flexible implementation based on the available automation infrastructure at the chemical plant or pilot plant setup.
