Like a proton, the electron has a spin, which gives it a magnetic property known as a magnetic moment. However, instead of measuring the nuclear transitions in our sample, we are detecting the transitions of unpaired electrons in an applied magnetic field.

As a result EPR crosses several disciplines including chemistry, physics, biology, material science, medical science and many more.ĮPR is a magnetic resonance technique very similar to NMR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

Free electrons are often short-lived, but still play crucial roles in many processes such as photosynthesis, oxidation, catalysis, and polymerization reactions. These include free radicals, many transition metal ions, and defects in materials. A surprisingly large number of materials have unpaired electrons. It is also often called ESR, Electron Spin Resonance. In addition, Bruker is also the leading manufacturer of superconductor magnets and ultra-high-field magnets for NMR and MRI solutions.EPR Overview Electron Paramagnetic Resonance OverviewĮlectron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR, is a spectroscopic technique that detects species that have unpaired electrons.
