400 MHz Avance III HD Smart Probe Spectrometer - 'Auchentoshan' - Room B13B
This spectrometer features a 400 MHz magnet from an older system teamed up with an Avance III HD electronics console and Smart Probe.
The Smart Probe offers increased sensitivity over previous generation room-temperature probes plus the advantage of broadband capabilities with automatic tuning from 15N to 19F. As the proton and fluorine nuclei are on separate coils, 19F with 1H decoupling and vice-versa together with 2-dimensional 1H/19F experiments are easily handled.
We offer the following 'standard' experimental parameter sets:
| proton.std | 16 scans | 1 min 30 sec |
| proton-paramag.std | 16 scans, SW=347ppm | 1 min |
| carbon.std | 256 scans | 18 min 30 sec |
| dept135.std | 64 scans | 4 min 30 sec |
| dept90.std | 64 scans | 4 min |
| dept45.std | 64 scans | 4 min |
| q-cosy.std (purge pulses) | 2 scans/256 increments | 7 min |
| cosy.std | 2 scans/256 increments | 15 min 30 sec |
| hsqc.std | 2 scans/256 increments | 10 min |
| hsqc-ed.std (multiplicity edited) | 2 scans/256 increments | 10 min |
| hmbc.std | 4 scans/360 increments | 50 min |
| noesy.std (600ms mixing time) | 2 scans/360 increments | 38 min |
| 19F-CPD.std | 32 scans | 2 min |
| 19F-1H-coupled.std | 32 scans | 2 min |
| 31P-CPD.std | 32 scans | 1 min 30 sec |
| 31P-1H-coupled.std | 32 scans | 3 min |
There are also many other parameter sets that have been created specifically for the needs of the various research group users. If you can't find what you require please see one of the NMR Facility staff in B28.
This spectrometer is operated by individually trained group users, who will be able to create their own parameter sets to suit their varied research interests.
The Chemistry Department's new Materials Lecturer Dr Alexander Forse will be siting his gas adsorption spectroscopy rig in this room for use on this spectrometer.
This instrument utilises an online booking system which can be accessed here.
