With the support of the Centro de Investigación y de Servicios Químicos y Microbiológicos (CEQIATEC) from the School of Chemistry at Tecnológico de Costa Rica, a comprehensive review has been accepted and published online in the national journal Tecnología en Marcha. The paper is written in Spanish to reach a national audience

This review marks the first historical account of NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) development in Costa Rica, following extensive bibliographic research and interviews with former NMR users. The review is divided into four sections:

1. Introduction: A brief overview of the fundamentals of NMR.
2. Historical Equipment Overview: A detailed citation and technical explanation of all NMR devices installed and used in Costa Rica.
3. Scientific Contributions: A summary of all papers and scientific work conducted in the country since the installation of the first NMR magnet.
4. Current State and Future Prospects: An analysis of the current state of NMR in Costa Rica, along with a list of potential applications aimed at expanding NMR use with innovative perspectives.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the student Andrés Borloz-Chinchilla for his hard work and patience during the design, preparation and writing of the review.
