 Insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer

Insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT) is a technique used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to improve the sensitivity of NMR signals from nuclei that have low natural abundance or weak resonance. The primary goal of INEPT is to enhance the signals of certain nuclei (like \(^{13}\)C or \(^{15}\)N) by transferring polarization from more abundant and sensitive nuclei (usually \(^{1}\)H, or proton).
