In recent years there has been a renewed interest in benchtop NMR. Given their lower cost of ownership, smaller footprint, and ease of use, they are especially suited as an educational tool. Here, a new experiment targeted at upper-year undergraduates and first-year graduate students follows the conversion of D-glucose into ethanol at low-field. First, high and low-field data on D-glucose are compared and students learn both the Hz and ppm scales and how J-coupling is field-independent. The students then acquire their own quantitative NMR datasets and perform the quantification using an Electronic Reference To Access In Vivo Concentration (ERETIC) technique...
