NMR Spectrometers and Work Stations
There are currently eight liquids NMR Spectrometers in
operation: 400 (x3), 500 (x2), 600,
700, and 800 MHz; named mr400, i400, s400, ibd5, u500, i600, v700, and an800 respectively. The Rod Wasylishen and Vladimir Michaelis groups also have four solid state NMR instruments (presently R300, R400, R500, and vm600 equipped with DNP) supported by the Chemistry Department and NMR group. Spectrometer details needed for experimental write-ups are available below.
There are seven Linux based PC work stations available for general usage e.g. d300, d401, d500, d601, and d602 (see below) and remote access from PCs
and Macs located in individual research groups.
Information updated Oct. 2024.
