Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
is a non-destructive analytical technique that uses radiofrequencies and strong magnetic fields to investigate atomic nuclei.
This technique allows the identification of structure and dynamics of organic molecules,
the measurement of reaction kinetics, as well as the study of organic and inorganic materials and solids.

The NMR Facilitiy of the Chemistry Department is equipped with three NMR systems.
Our 400 and 600 MHz instruments are located in our research building Smart Energy 0200.
A 60 MHz Benchtop NMR serves the department's Instructional Program in Science II.
An additional 400 MHz NMR is hosted by the Pharmacy School at the Center of Excellence.

These instruments are used independently by various research students and faculty in the Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, and Materials Science programs.
Additionally, we provide NMR service and analysis to other departments on campus, as well as to various universities, colleges, and companies in the region.
 
Virtual NMR Lab Tour: Video (210 MB) and HTML
Tours of our facility and demonstrations of our instruments can be arranged for schools, teachers, students, and researchers.
To schedule tours, training, service requests, or for general NMR assistance please contact the NMR Specialist, Dr. Jürgen Schulte, Phone: (607)777-4405.

Chemistry Department

Bruker Avance III 600
  • 14.1 Tesla shielded, superconducting Magnet
  • 600 MHz Proton NMR, 3 RF Channels, z-Axis Pulsed Field Gradients 
  • 5 mm Broadband/Fluorine Observe Probe
    This probe is used in automation and manual operation for routine analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in solution. It is equipped for pulsed field gradients and can be tuned automatically to detect almost all nuclei. Typical experiments performed with this probe include all two-dimensional experiments, i.e. COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, and many more.
  • 5 mm H,C,N,P Quadruple Inverse Probe
    This probe is used for biological and biochemical samples in solution. It is equipped for pulsed field gradients and its proton sensitivity is approx. 50% better than the BBFO probe. Multinuclear correlation experiments using almost any combination of Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus are possible. Excellent water suppression capabilities make this the ideal probe for the analysis of proteins and nucleic acids in aqueous buffer solutions.
  • 2.5 mm H,X,Y Triple Resonance MAS Probe
    This probe is used for the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in solid state. The probe can spin samples at up to 35,000 Hz and it can detect almost all nuclei. Typical experiments performed with this probe include single-pulse, CP/MAS, and REDOR experiments.
Bruker Avance Neo 400
  • 9.4 Tesla shielded, superconducting Magnet
  • 400 MHz Proton NMR, 3 RF Channels, z-Axis Pulsed Field Gradients 
  • 5 mm BB+19F Observe "iProbe"
    This probe is used in automation and manual operation for routine analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in solution. It is equipped for pulsed field gradients and can be tuned automatically to detect almost all nuclei. Typical experiments performed with this probe include all two-dimensional experiments, i.e. COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, and many more.
  • 3.2 mm H,C,N Triple Resonance CP/MAS Probe
    This probe is used for the analysis of organic and biochemical compounds in solid state. The probe can spin samples at up to 24,000 Hz. Typical experiments performed with this probe include single-pulse, CP/MAS, and REDOR experiments.

Pharmacy School

Bruker Avance III HD 400
  • 9.1 Tesla shielded, superconducting Magnet
  • 400 MHz Proton NMR, 2 RF Channels, z-Axis Pulsed Field Gradients 
  • 24-sample SampleCase Automation
  • 5 mm Broadband/Fluorine Observe Probe
    This probe is typically used with an automatic sample changer for routine analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in solution. It is equipped for pulsed field gradients and can be tuned automatically to detect almost all nuclei. Typical experiments performed with this probe include all two-dimensional experiments, i.e. COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, and many more.
