NMR as a method has experienced continuous growth and development over the years and new fields of applications are steadily being explored. While progress in methods and applications of NMR to molecules in solution, solid materials, and medical imaging is reported in the scientific literature, developments in NMR with applications outside a laboratory often are encountered only occasionally, and some information can be retrieved from the internet. In the following some of the industrial applications of magnetic resonance are reviewed in an attempt to assess the current state of magnetic resonance in environments more demanding than a clean laboratory, and the possibilities of NMR for quality control of elastomer products are analyzed by example of the NMR-MOUSE(R).
