Probes for high field solid-state NMR of lossy biological samples

In solid-state NMR hydrated samples of biopolymers are susceptible to radio frequency heating and have a significant impact on probe tuning frequency and performance parameters such as sensitivity. These considerations are increasingly important as magnetic field strengths increase with improved magnet technology. Recent developments in the design, construction, and performance of probes for solid-state NMR experiments on stationary lossy biological samples at high magnetic fields are reviewed.
