EPR Instruments
The Many Applications of EPR
From cell membranes to nano-diamonds, EPR applications spread far and wide through many fields: chemistry, material research, life science, quantum physics, and quality control.
In electrochemistry, redox chemistry, photochemistry and catalysis, EPR can be used to study metal centers and radicals involved in chemical processes. Amongst the many areas in material science, applications include polymer synthesis, testing the purity of silicon in solar cells and characterization of nano-diamonds and diamond grading. In an industrial setting, EPR is used to monitor product stability, impurity profiles, degradation, flavor stability and shelf-life for quality and process control.
In structural biology EPR provides insight into structure, function and reaction mechanisms in enzymes, membrane proteins, RNA and DNA. Biomedical EPR applications include the detection of free radicals such as ROS and RNS to observe and evaluate oxidative stress and cell damage.
