text: Insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT) is a signal resolution enhancement method. Because N has a gyromagnetic ratio that is small in magnitude, the resolution is quite poor. A common pulse sequence which dramatically improves the resolution for N is INEPT. The INEPT is an elegant solution in most cases because it increases the Boltzmann polarization and lowers T values (thus scans are shorter). Additionally, INEPT can accommodate negative gyromagnetic ratios, whereas the common nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) cannot.
