The NMR
Facility serves a large community of users within the Department of
Chemistry, other Departments on-campus, as well as Companies of the Industrial
Associate Program (IAP).
The NMR lab consists of seven spectrometers from 300 MHz to 600 MHz, one off-line
SUN workstation for data processing, one SGI for molecular modeling TCP/IP file transfer,
and Windows/Mac computers also with NMR processing software.
The 300, 400, and 4x500 MHz spectrometers operate on a 24/7 basis open access (see schedule below). After mandatory operational training by one the NMR managers, users are granted their own account to perform experiments.
The 600-MHz spectrometer has limited access, due to the specificity
of its hardware, but may be used if is idling.
Spectrometers Schedule:
300-MHz Varian Mercury-VX
(every day):
8am - 10pm = walk-on, 1/2 hour max
10pm - 8am = walk-on, 1 hr max
--------------------------------------------------
400-MHz Varian INOVA:
(every day):
8am - 1pm = walk-on, 1/2 hr max
1pm - 8am = walk-on, 1 hr max
--------------------------------------------------
500-MHz Varian INOVA:
(every day):
9am - 11am = advance sign-up,
2hrs max
11am - 5pm = walk-up, 1 hr max (*)
5pm - 9am = advance sign-up, unlimited
(weekends):
5pm,Friday - 9am, Monday =
advance sign-up, unlimited.
(*) The NMR managers may override the walk-up time
if a specific situation demands
(e.g., NMR training for new users).
--------------------------------------------
(3x) 500-MHz Bruker AVANCEs:
Walk-up 24/7
(each equipped with 120-sample carousel) :
A1: Cryo-TCI (H1 optimized)
A2: Cryo-DCH (C13 optimized)
A3: Cryo-QNP (H1, C13, P31, N15)
--------------------------------------------
600-MHz Varian INOVA:
(every day):
Advance sign-up after arrangement with
the NMR managers.
** Obs: If the 600 spectrometer is idle, any NMR user may use it for H1 experiments only,
as the triple resonance probe
(TXI, default probe)
allows only for H1 observe.
