Article Synopsis
- T(2) relaxation measurements, using a low-field NMR system (275 kHz, 6.5 mT), effectively detect biofouling in various natural sand media.
- Previous studies showed that at high-field strengths (300 MHz, 7 T), T(2) techniques could confirm biofilm presence but faced limitations due to strong susceptibility gradients in natural media.
- Results indicate that low-field NMR systems can reliably monitor biofilm growth in magnetically susceptible geological samples, suggesting potential applications for bioremediation monitoring.
