Brown University NMR Facility

The Chemistry Department currently has four Bruker high field NMR spectrometers: two 300 Megahertz (MHz) instruments and two 400 MHz instruments. In addition there are two Bruker data processing station. One 300, both 400s, and the processing stations are located in GeoChem 410 and the remaining 300 is located in MacMillan 315. The website for making reservations on the NMR spectrometers is http://faces.ccrc.uga.edu. To use the instruments, one must attend a training class and be issued a computer login with password. Click here to email the facilities supervisor if you are interested in attending a training session.
