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
National University of Córdoba
The National University of Córdoba, , is the oldest university in Argentina, and one of the oldest in the Americas. It is located in Córdoba, the capital of Córdoba Province. Since the early 20th century it has been the second largest university in the country in terms of the number of students,...

 (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)) .
