picoSpin LLC is the manufacturer of the world's only commercially available high performance miniature NMR spectrometer. The compact and inexpensive picoSpin-45 produces high quality spectra with the same chemical shift and multiplet information you expect without the high costs and cryogens of a traditional NMR spectrometer. More information and example spectrum can be found by visiting the picoSpin website: www.picoSpin.com

John Frost, Ph.D. began his educational career in the UW-System University Transfer program by earning an Associate's degree from Nicolet Area Technical College in Rhinelander, WI. He then transferred to Michigan Technological University to complete his bachelor's degree and earn a Master's degree in organic chemistry studying the effects of mono-substituted amides on the intramolecular sulfoxide electrophilic sulfenylation reaction. He earned his Ph.D. in analytical and physical chemistry from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee developing a new long-path length spectroscopic technique. John is also an alumnus of the NSF-Center for Workshops in the Chemical Sciences. Dr. Frost is currently employed as a Chemist, and Project Manager with picoSpin LLC (Boulder, CO) and serves as an American Chemical Society Science Coach for Overland High School in Aurora, CO where he heads the NASA-HUNCH program.
