The NMR Service in the Department of Chemistry is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of 13 high field superconducting magnet systems, and their associated hardware.  We also run the NMR analytical service, for research workers within the department, and have access to all the departmental machines.  This enables us to offer a wide variety of experiments at various field strengths.  More information about the individual instruments and their capabilities can be found on the NMR spectrometers page.  The group of Professor Clare Grey have a separate Solid State NMR facility and more information about her research can be found at her group website.  The NMR Service supply a large range of deuterated solvents, as well as other chemicals that are of use in NMR spectroscopy.  You can find more information about the NMR Service staff members here.

Submission forms for samples for the NMR Service can be found below in PDF and Powerpoint formats.

We can also provide an NMR Service to research workers in other University departments, and to external companies.  Please contact Dr Peter Grice in the first instance who will be able to answer your enquiry.

There are a number of exciting developments about to occur within the NMR rooms in the department.  We obtained funding from EPSRC and School of Physical Sciences at the end of last year to upgrade some of our NMR machines.  Highlights include a new 3 channel console and probe for the BB500 (Glengrant), new "Smart" probe for the DRX-400 (Florence), major upgrades to the open-access walk-up spectrometers (Laphroaig and Lagavulin), and a new cryoprobe for the 700 MHz instrument (Arran).  There will also be upgrades to our processing software capabilities and new licences.  If you have further questions - on what the new spectrometers might do for you - please ask one of the NMR Service staff in B28.
