The advent of magic angle spinning (MAS) rates exceeding 100 kHz has facilitated the acquisition of ¹H-detected solid-state NMR spectra of biomolecules with high resolution. However, challenges can arise when preparing rotors for these experiments, due to the physical properties of biomolecular solid samples and the small dimensions of the rotors. In this study, we have designed 3D-printable centrifugal devices that facilitate efficient and consistent packing of crystalline protein slurries or...

On the use of ultracentrifugal devices for routine sample preparation in biomolecular magic-angle-spinning NMR
Abstract
A number of recent advances in the field of magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR have enabled its application to a range of biological systems of ever increasing complexity. To retain biological relevance, these samples are increasingly studied in a hydrated state. At the same time, experimental feasibility requires the sample preparation process to attain a high sample concentration within the final MAS rotor. We discuss these...
