Instruments
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility consists of four fully multinuclear
Fourier transform (FT) NMR Spectrometers. They each have capabilities for advanced
single- and multi-dimensional NMR studies. The Facility also includes a Bruker EMXplus
EPR Spectrometer.
Bruker Avance III-HD 300 MHz
The facility's primary walk-up instrument is configured for routine ¹H, ¹³C, ¹9F,
³¹P and ¹¹B observe. It is equipped with an auto-tuning probe that allows full broadband
operation. The system has a 24 sample auto-changer (SampleCase™) for fully automated
analysis.
Bruker Avance III-HD 400A MHz
A complement to the 300MHz system, with longer time blocks which allow users to run
more advanced experiments. This system has a 16 sample auto-changer (SampleXpress
Lite™) for automated analysis. It is also equipped with an auto-tuning probe that
allows running of various X-nuclei under automation. System also has a Doty DI 3mm
MAS probe for solid-state analysis.
Bruker Avance III-HD 400B MHz
This system features a Broadband Prodigy™ Cryoprobe that offers very high sensitivity.
60 sample auto-changer (SampleXpress™) and auto-tuning capabilities allow for full
automation.
Bruker Avance III-HD 500 MHz
This system's console is equipped with three RF - channels and can perform both liquid
and solid-state NMR experiments. For liquids the default configuration is a TCI triple
resonance (H/C/N) Prodigy™ Cryoprobe. A 60 sample auto-changer (SampleXpress™) is
available for liquids experiments. Conventional broadband probes are available for
both 5 mm and 10 mm samples. MAS solid-state probe options include 1.9 mm, 4 mm double
resonance and a 1.6 mm triple resonance. Also available is a 3 mm ²H static probe.
Bruker EMXplus EPR
X-Band EPR with high sensitivity (HS) cavity. System includes Oxford ESR900 cryostat
for both liquid Helium and Nitrogen Low temerature experiments.
