Facilities

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry NMR facility houses four solution-state NMR spectrometers of different field strengths ranging from 360 MHz to 600 MHz. The facility serves a large number (close to 100) of faculty, students and postdoctoral associates from Chemistry and Biochemistry and from other departments on campus. Two 400 MHz spectrometers, one with an auto-sampler and another with multinuclear capabilities, are available for acquiring routine proton and C-13 NMR spectra. The AMX 360 MHz NMR spectrometer mainly used by users with long acquisition times, or which require variable temperature, or for kinetics measurements, all of which require a single-user environment for extended periods of time. The AV600 NMR spectrometer, equipped with a cold-probe, is for analyzing biomolecular NMR samples. This spectrometer is also set up for some special new experiments when these experiments are not accessible with the 400 MHz instruments.
