MS

Mass spectrometry, an analytical technique used for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to identify and quantify molecules in a sample.

NMR

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, a spectroscopic technique that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei to provide information about the structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of molecules.

Unknown Compound
