Equipment

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art magnetic resonance equipment suitable for liquids and solids experiments.
Multi-nuclear capabilities, including 1H, 11B, 13C, 19F, 15N, 29Si, 31P, 119Sn and other nuclei.
Z-gradients for diffusion measurements and gradient-selected techniques.
Multidimensional techniques: 1H, correlation spectroscopy (1H-COSY), Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY), Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation spectroscopy (HSQC), Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Correlation spectroscopy (HMQC), Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation spectroscopy (HMBC), Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) and Incredible Natural-Abundance Double-Quantum Transfer Experiment (INADEQUATE).
Variable temperature NMR experiments (–60°C to 100°C).

 

Currently, we have 3 high-field NMR spectrometers (ranging from 400 to 600 MHz for 1H NMR):

 

JNM-ECZR 600 MHz NMR Spectrometer

JNM-ECP 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer

This state-of-the art instrument fully incorporating the latest digital and high frequency technologies.
Supports NMR of liquid and solid samples, is capable of handling anything from routine analysis to application measurements. Automatic tuning, variable temperature and pulsed field gradient capabilities.

600mhz

Magnet: standard bore.

1 mm CPMAS double channel (H/F-X) probe
Sample volume 0.8 ul. Max spinning speed 80 kHz.
This solid state NMR probe uses 1 mm o.d. sample rotors and provides a very high spin rate at the magic angle. It requires only sub-milligram amounts of sample for high resolution 1H solid state measurements, quantitative 1H analyses and 1H observe 2D measurements (indirect detection).

3.2 mm CPMAS double channel (H/F-X) probe
Sample volume 50 ul. Max spinning speed 22 kHz.
This solid state NMR probe uses 3.2 mm o.d. sample rotors and is a general purpose CPMAS probe balancing spinning speed and sensitivity.

ROYAL probe (RO5AT) 5mm probe with sensitivity for 31P – 15N comparable to traditional tuneable probes and sensitivity for 1H & 19F comparable to the traditional inverse probe. This provides optimum sensitivity for all nuclei.
Automatic tuning capabilities.

NMR spectrometer ideal for liquids and solutions.
Equipped with 5 mm normal and inverse geometry probes, provides optimum sensitivity for all nuclei.
Ideal for standard 1D and 2D NMR spectra of small molecules. Automatic tuning, variable temperature and pulsed field gradient capabilities.

400mhz

Magnet: standard bore.

Tuneable probe (TH5AT)
Standard 5 mm tuneable probe whit sensitivity optimized to lower sensitivity nuclei (31P – 15N).
Sensitivity for high frequency nuclei (1H & 19F) is also good.
Automatic tuning capabilities to change nucleus in consecutive measurements.
Pulsed field gradient capability.

Inverse probe (H5XAT)
5 mm probe with inverse geometry. Sensitivity optimized for 1H observation. Recommended for 1H measurements including inverse experiments (1H observed 2D experiments).
