History

Spinlock was founded in 2003 by Dr. Daniel J. Pusiol, a renowned physicist specialized in NMR and NQR, professor at the

National University of Córdoba The National University of Córdoba ( es, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba,) is an institution of higher education in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. Founded in 1613, the university is the oldest in Argentina, the third oldest university of t ...

(CONICET) of Argentina. Mr. Pusiol lead a team of young researchers to build Spinlock, manufacturing NMR spectrometers and providing Research and Development services for different industries, engaging on the discovery of new applications for the NMR technology. Closely related to the National University of Córdoba, Spinlock contributes with the University on projects and receives continuous support in the form of education and consultation with leading scientists. The organization employs scientist and technical staff from diverse areas: engineering, physics, chemistry and computer sciences. Spinlock has shared its knowledge in international publications and forums (see Determinación del contenido de ácido oleico en semillas de maní por medio de la resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN)).
