Abstract :
In this work, we report on the realization of an innovating micro system for NMR spectroscopy on small sample volume (30-100 nL). We propose a micro system based on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology for the NMR probe associated to a micro fluidic system made with polymer (COC). The comparison of several samples during the same NMR experiments could provide more precise information. In that context, we have realized a micro-fluidic system with two cavities, each cavity presenting a volume of 37 nl. The fabrication process is described, and first results are reported. The tight sealing of the micro-fluidic system has been demonstrated and preliminary NMR experiment results are presented.
