Department of Chemistry

NMR Facility

The Chemistry Department currently has three Bruker high field NMR spectrometers: one 600 Megahertz (MHz), and two 400 MHz instruments. In addition there are two 60 MHz Magritek Spinsolve NMR spectrometers equipped with autosamplers available for teaching.

Training

The NMR facility is available to all faculty, post-doc researchers, graduate and undergraduate students. We also allow researchers from other schools and local companies to use the instruments.

To gain access to the instruments, there is a 3-step process. 

  1. A 90-minute General Training session on one of the 400 MHz instruments must be attended. If you are interested in attending a training session, please contact Core Facilities Manager, Adrienne M Roehrich, Ph.D.
  2. A quiz will be emailed and must be passed with an 80% or better.
  3. A 15-minute Qualifier session wherein the researcher brings their own sample and runs a routine experiment must be completed.

For use of the 600 MHz instrument equipped with a Prodigy cryoprobe, an additional training session is required after completing the 400 MHz series. Sessions are announced through the Chemistry NMR mailing list.
