The 9th National Low-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Technology and Application Symposium Concludes Successfully in Zhoushan, Zhejiang

Introduction:

 

On August 27, 2017, the 9th National Conference on Low-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Technology and Applications was grandly opened in Zhoushan, a beautiful island, co-hosted by the NMR Instrument Professional Committee of the Analysis Instrument Branch of the China Instrument and Control Society and NiuMai Analytical Instruments in collaboration with the College of Petrochemical and Energy Engineering of Zhejiang Ocean University. Over 100 scholars from universities and research institutions across the country attended the conference. With the theme “Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Industrial Applications,” the conference focused on new applications of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in various fields, sparking in-depth discussions.
This year’s highlight: The conference maintained its high academic standard, with academic reports covering the latest research developments, especially in the petroleum sector, making it an event not to be missed. Additionally, NiuMai launched a new product at the conference: the NMR Particle Surface Characterization Analyzer. The new product, affectionately dubbed “Little White,” attracted considerable attention, with experts pausing to engage in discussions with engineers.

New Product Launch at NiuMai

 

The “Little White” from NiuMai made its debut at the Low-field NMR conference. Its compact design and powerful functionality, especially in particle surface characterization, drew significant attention, with representatives stopping to engage in discussions.

Dinner • Keywords: Technological Innovation • Poetry

 

This year’s dinner was different from previous ones, combining a product launch, the announcement of national major certification results, and the conference welcome dinner. There were also poems to add flavor, as well as a sand painting performance and exciting prize draws, allowing the attendees to unwind and enjoy themselves after a day full of discussions. In a relaxed atmosphere, everyone shared their visions for the future of scientific research.

Yang Yi, NiuMai’s R&D Manager, presented the new product—NMR Particle Surface Characterization Analyzer, officially launched in 2017, for industrial and scientific applications in fields such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and materials.

Mr. Zhang Yingli, Deputy General Manager of NiuMai, hosted the release conference for the national major instrument development project. On August 8, 2017, Jiangsu Provincial Productivity Promotion Center invited seven related technical experts to evaluate the technological achievements at our company. The experts unanimously concluded that the “High-Performance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Analyzer” met the requirements for scientific achievement evaluation and reached an international advanced level.

Mr. Yang Peiqiang, General Manager of NiuMai, and Secretary Liu Changchuan led the NiuMai staff present to offer a toast, celebrating the success of the conference!

After the toast, the dinner officially began, with everyone enjoying the carefully prepared Zhoushan cuisine in the beautiful early autumn evening. There was also a lottery, poetry, and a sand painting performance to enliven the event. For more details, please follow NiuMai’s official public account.

In August, Zhoushan was a picturesque place, and the two-day academic conference brought forth many sparks of thought and collisions of ideas, thanks to the efforts of the organizing committee to ensure the conference went smoothly!

With that, the 9th National Low-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Technology and Applications Conference in Zhoushan came to a successful close! We look forward to meeting you at the 10th conference!
