Abstract
The parahydrogen-induced polarisation (PHIP) NMR signal enhancement technique is used to study H2 addition to Vaska's complex (trans-[IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2]) with both standard high-field (9.4 T) NMR and benchtop (1 T) NMR detection. Accurate and repeatable rate constants of (0.84 ± 0.03) dm3 mol-1 s-1 and (0.89 ± 0.03) dm3 mol-1 s-1 were obtained for this model system using standard high-field and benchtop NMR, respectively. The high-field NMR approach is shown to be susceptible to systematic errors associated with interference from non-hyperpolarised signals, which can be overcome through a multiple-quantum filtered acquisition scheme. This challenge is avoided when using benchtop NMR detection because the non-hyperpolarised signals are much weaker due to the lower magnetic field, enabling the use of a simpler and more efficient single RF pulse detection scheme. Method validation against several experimental parameters (NMR relaxation, %pH2 enrichment and temperature) demonstrates the robustness of the benchtop NMR approach but also highlights the need for sample temperature control throughout reaction monitoring. A simple temperature equilibration protocol, coupled with use of an insulated sample holder while manipulating the sample outside the spectrometer, is found to provide sufficient temperature stabilisation to ensure that accurate and repeatable rate constants are obtained. Finally, the benchtop NMR reaction monitoring protocol is applied to the analysis of a complex mixture, where multiple reaction products form simultaneously. H2 addition to a mixture of three Vaska's complex derivatives was monitored, revealing the presence of competitive reaction pathways within the mixture.

Abstract
Nonionic surfactant excipients (NISEs) are commonly added to biologics formulations to mitigate the effects of stress incurred by the active biotherapeutic during manufacturing, transport, and storage. During manufacturing, NISEs are added by dilution of a stock solution directly into a protein formulation, and their accurate addition is critical in maintaining the quality and integrity of the drug product and thus ensuring patient safety. This is especially true for the common NISEs, polysorbates 20 and 80 (PS20 and PS80, respectively) and poloxamer 188 (P188). With the increasing diversity of biologic modalities within modern pharmaceutical pipelines, there is thus a critical need to develop and deploy convenient and user-accessible analytical techniques that can rapidly and reliably quantify these NISEs under biopharmaceutically relevant conditions. We thus pursued 60 MHz benchtop quantitative NMR (qNMR) as a nondestructive and user-friendly analytical technique for the quantification of PS20, PS80, and P188 under such conditions. We demonstrated the ability of benchtop qNMR (1) to quantify simulated PS20, PS80, and P188 stock solutions representative of those used during the drug substance (DS) formulation step in biomanufacturing and (2) to quantify these NISEs at and below their target concentrations (≤0.025% w/v) directly in biologics formulations containing histidine, sucrose, and one of three biotherapeutic modalities (monoclonal antibody, antibody-drug conjugate, and Fc-fusion protein). Our results demonstrate that benchtop qNMR offers a fit-for-purpose, reliable, user-friendly, and green analytical route by which NISE of interest to the biopharmaceutical industry may be readily and reliably quantified. We conclude that benchtop qNMR has the potential to be applied to other excipient formulation components in the presence of various biological modalities as well as the potential for routine integration within analytical and QC laboratories across pharmaceutical development and manufacturing sites.

Abstract
The ability for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to provide quantitative, structurally rich information makes this spectroscopic technique an attractive reaction monitoring tool. The practicality of NMR for this type of analysis has only increased in the recent years with the influx of commercially available benchtop NMR instruments and compatible flow systems. In this study, we aim to compare 19F NMR reaction profiles acquired under both on-line continuous-flow and stopped-flow sampling methods, with modern benchtop NMR instrumentation, and two reaction systems: a homogeneous imination reaction and a biphasic activation of a carboxylic acid to acyl fluoride. Reaction trends with higher data density can be acquired with on-line continuous-flow analyses, and this work highlights that representative reaction trends can be acquired without any correction when monitoring resonances with a shorter spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), and with the used flow conditions. On-line stopped-flow analyses resulted in representative reaction trends in all cases, including the monitoring of resonances with a long T1, without the need of any correction factors. The benefit of easier data analysis, however, comes with the cost of time, as the fresh reaction solution must be flowed into the NMR system, halted, and time must be provided for spins to become polarized in the instrument's external magnetic field prior to spectral measurement. Results for one of the reactions were additionally compared with the use of a high-field NMR.

Abstract
The application of compact NMR instruments to hot flowing samples or exothermically reacting mixtures is limited by the temperature sensitivity of permanent magnets. Typically, such temperature effects directly influence the achievable magnetic field homogeneity and hence measurement quality. The internal-temperature control loop of the magnet and instruments is not designed for such temperature compensation. Passive insulation is restricted by the small dimensions within the magnet borehole. Here, we present a design approach for active heat shielding with the aim of variable temperature control of NMR samples for benchtop NMR instruments using a compressed airstream which is variable in flow and temperature. Based on the system identification and surface temperature measurements through thermography, a model predictive control was set up to minimise any disturbance effect on the permanent magnet from the probe or sample temperature. This methodology will facilitate the application of variable-temperature shielding and, therefore, extend the application of compact NMR instruments to flowing sample temperatures that differ from the magnet temperature.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique with the ability to acquire both quantitative and structurally insightful data for multiple components in a test sample. This makes NMR spectroscopy a desirable tool to understand, monitor, and optimize chemical transformations. While quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches relying on internal standards are well-established, using an absolute external calibration scheme is beneficial for reaction monitoring as resonance overlap complications from an added reference material to the sample can be avoided. Particularly, this type of qNMR technique is of interest with benchtop NMR spectrometers as the likelihood of resonance overlap is only enhanced with the lower magnetic field strengths of the used permanent magnets. The included study describes a simple yet robust methodology to determine concentration conversion factors for NMR systems using single- and multi-analyte linear regression models. This approach is leveraged to investigate a pharmaceutically relevant amide coupling batch reaction. An on-line stopped-flow (i.e., interrupted-flow or paused-flow) benchtop NMR system was used to monitor both the 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) promoted acid activation and the amide coupling. The results highlight how quantitative measurements in benchtop NMR systems can provide valuable information and enable analysts to make decisions in real time.

Abstract
A big problem with the chemistry literature is that it is not standardized with respect to precise operational parameters, and real time corrections are hard to make without expert knowledge. This lack of context means difficult reproducibility because many steps are ambiguous, and hence depend on tacit knowledge. Here we present the integration of online NMR into an automated chemical synthesis machine (CSM aka. "Chemputer" which is capable of small-molecule synthesis using a universal programming language) to allow automated analysis and adjustment of reactions on the fly. The system was validated and benchmarked by using Grignard reactions which were chosen due to their importance in synthesis. The system was monitored in real time using online-NMR, and spectra were measured continuously during the reactions. This shows that the synthesis being done in the Chemputer can be dynamically controlled in response to feedback optimizing the reaction conditions according to the user requirements.
