Total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) is a key experiment to assign nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of complex molecules. Carbon-13 TOCSY experiments are essential to assign signals of protein side chains. However, the performance of carbon-13 TOCSY deteriorates at high magnetic fields since the necessarily limited radiofrequency irradiation fails to cover the broad range of carbon-13 frequencies.

Significant improvements in sensitivity and resolution have been driven by a steady increase of static magnetic field strengths. However, some properties of nuclei may be more favourable at low magnetic fields.
