500 MHz DCH Cryoprobe Spectrometer - 'Aberlour' - Room B28
The NMR Service in room B28 run two spectrometers at 400 and 500MHz, both with cryoprobes. The 500 MHz DCH Cryoprobe is able to observe 1H and 13C nuclei. The probe is optimised for 13C and the instrument is the best in the department for observing this nucleus. It is within the capability of the spectrometer to acquire good 13C spectra on less than 1mg of material, taking a fraction of the time that a non-cryoprobe equipped instrument would. It will also run a full suite of structure elucidating experiments in a couple of hours on more concentrated samples. The spectrometer operates using IconNMR with a sample changer, and will run automatically with samples added to the queue by the NMR Service staff. The common experiments run on this instrument are 1H, 13C, APT/DEPT, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY; more complex experiments can be set up as required.
