With the introduction of cryoprobes and better electronics, sensitivity has improved in a way that allows measurements to take less than 1/20th the time that they previously did. Unfortunately, a high Q-factor with cryoprobes creates baseline curvature related to acoustic ringing that affects quantitative NMR analyses. Manual baseline correction is commonly used to compensate for the baseline roll, but it is a time-intensive process. The outcome of manual baseline correction can vary depending on processing parameters, especially for complicated spectra. Additionally, it can be challenging to distinguish between broad peaks and baseline rolls. A new anti-ring pulse sequence (zgig_pisp) was previously reported to improve on the incumbent single pulse experiment (zgig). The original report presented limited comparison data with <sup>13</sup>C NMR, but a thorough validation is needed before broader implementation can be considered. In this work, we report the round-robin testing and comparison of zgig_pisp and zgig pulse sequences. During the testing phase, we found that zgig_pisp is practically equivalent to zgig to ±2% for the majority of integrals examined.

On the other hand, identifying and quantifying structural groups in a mixture from NMR spectra is much easier than doing the same for components. We call this group-based approach “NMR fingerprinting.” In this work, we show that NMR fingerprinting can even be performed in an automated way, without expert knowledge, based only on standard NMR spectra, namely, <sup>13</sup>C, <sup>1</sup>H, and <sup>13</sup>C DEPT NMR spectra.

The results from the NMR fingerprinting agree remarkably well with the ground truth, which was known from the gravimetric preparation of the samples. To facilitate the application of the method, we provide an interactive website (https://nmr-fingerprinting.de), where spectral information can be uploaded and which returns the NMR fingerprint.

Hence, the preparation of low MW oligosaccharides becomes a strategy to overcome the problem. Regardless of the polymeric or oligomeric lengths of these molecules, structural elucidation is mandatory for SAR studies.
