About
Daniel Raftery is a leading figure in the development of high-throughput and micro-scale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, with a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of analytical sensitivity and automation. His major contributions center on the design and construction of specialized NMR probes that dramatically reduce sample volume requirements while increasing analysis speed. Notably, his pioneering work on a "High-Throughput Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis Using a Multiple Coil Flow Probe" (2003, 59 citations) introduced an automated, four-coil Multiplex NMR probe using solenoidal microcoils, enabling the rapid analysis of small, mass-limited samples in a flow-through format. This innovation laid the groundwork for routine, high-throughput NMR screening. Further advancing the field, his "Design and construction of a microcoil NMR probe for the routine analysis of 20-μL samples" (2008, 18 citations) provided a robust, commercially viable solution for analyzing volume-limited samples, making microcoil NMR accessible for a wide range of applications. Through these achievements, Raftery has significantly enhanced the utility of NMR in metabolomics and drug discovery, establishing himself as a key innovator in analytical chemistry.
