Quantitative NMR in Quality Control

The scope of the chapter is based on surveys with a total of >1000 responses. So, the scope of this chapter focuses on certain specific requirements from the global qNMR community. Specifically, this chapter originated as an attempt to collect the most interesting facts about qNMR principles, strategies, best practices, and existing applications, as seen by qNMR scientists today. Some sections are simple enough to be understood by a college student, whereas others will require some concentration and study to be completely understood. To advance qNMR applications in Chinese Medicine, a holistic review summarized possible qNMR strategies used in quality control of Chinese Medicine in the past ten years. It is hoped, however, that this information could inspire readers to study the secrets of qNMR technology and to utilize the tools presented in this chapter to find their own qNMR applications in the near future.
