Many times during the sample preparation for NMR studies solid samples form suspension due to low solubility in duterated solvents. We developed a technique to get rid of this problem easily. Just tighten the lid on the NMR sample tube and seal it with parafilm. Invert the tube and centrifuge it for five minutes. Now the suspension is collected in the lid and the clear sample is ready for NMR analysis in the tube.
