The 5th China Laboratory Green Technology Academic Conference: Focusing on Green Innovation – How Niumag's Low-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Technology Solves the High Pollution Problems of Traditional Analytical Testing?

The highly anticipated Founding Conference of the Green Technology Subcommittee of the China Association for Analysis and Testing and the 5th China Laboratory Green Technology Academic Conference will grandly open from July 20-23, 2025, at the Technological Workers’ Home in Tianjin!

During this grand event, Yang Peiqiang, Chairman of Niumai Analysis, will deliver a keynote speech titled “Innovative Green Analytical Testing Technologies to Promote High-Quality Economic and Social Development”. Chairman Yang will share cutting-edge insights, combining Niumai’s deep accumulation in the field of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology and green innovation practices.

Did you know that many traditional analytical testing methods are becoming stumbling blocks to green development? For example, the traditional ignition method for a single sample consumes over 15 kWh of electricity; the chemical composition analysis generates more than 500,000 tons of solvent emissions annually (according to the EU Chemicals Agency data), severely polluting the environment; and the ASTM D4006 standard requires up to 4 hours per sample, which is highly inefficient. These high energy consumption, high pollution, and low efficiency traditional methods are in stark contrast to the high-quality and sustainable development goals we are striving for.

It is in this context that Niumai’s low-field NMR technology stands out with its unique green advantages, becoming the key to breaking the deadlock!

Chairman Yang’s speech will focus on showcasing the green revolutionary advantages of Niumai’s low-field NMR technology:

“Zero Emissions” to Protect Our Waters

Low-field NMR technology completely eliminates the use of large amounts of organic solvents, achieving true “zero solvent emissions” in the analytical testing process, thus preventing chemical pollution from the source. This not only protects the safety of laboratory personnel but also safeguards the environment on which we depend for survival.

“60% Energy Savings” for a Greener Laboratory

Low-field NMR technology greatly reduces energy consumption, saving more than 60% compared to traditional methods. This not only reduces laboratory operational costs but also directly contributes to achieving the “dual carbon” targets.

“Non-Destructive Efficiency” Accelerates Industrial Upgrades

There is no need for complicated pretreatments or sample destruction, and the detection speed far exceeds traditional methods. For example, in seed resource analysis, whether for seed protein or fatty acid determination, low-field NMR technology can quickly provide accurate data in a non-destructive state, completing tests in just a few minutes, completely eliminating the traditional extraction method that takes 4 hours or more. This efficiency means faster R&D cycles and more timely industry responses.

“Green Ethics” Leading a New Trend in Life Sciences

In the life sciences field, low-field NMR technology, compared to traditional whole-body chemical composition analysis (CCA), is not only safer and faster but also stands out for its in vivo detection capabilities — experimental animals do not need to be anesthetized for testing. This not only reduces the use of anesthetics and their potential side effects but also replaces traditional dissection methods, significantly reducing the use of experimental animals and strictly adhering to the international 3R principles of animal ethics (Reduce, Replace, Refine). Pharmaceutical companies can use this technology to accelerate the development of new drugs (such as obesity drugs) while significantly reducing laboratory waste disposal costs, achieving green R&D.

Moreover, in the fields of material science and energy geotechnics, low-field NMR technology also demonstrates numerous green innovative applications, providing new technical pathways for the sustainable development of related industries. It is these continuous explorations and accumulated green practices in various fields that have given Niumai a deeper understanding of “innovative green analytical testing technology”. Chairman Yang’s sharing is not just a showcase of technology but a vivid example of how Niumai deeply integrates green concepts into product R&D, serves the industry, and contributes to society.

This conference is not only about discussion and sharing but also the clarion call for action. We sincerely invite colleagues, experts, and scholars from the industry who are interested in green analytical testing technology to attend this grand event and listen to Chairman Yang’s wonderful speech. We look forward to meeting you at the conference, witnessing the power of green technology together, and injecting green momentum into high-quality development!
