October 2009 time requests

This announcement is to remind you that September 19th @ 4pm is the deadline for requesting spectrometer time in October 2009 at NMRFAM.

Recent developments:

  • Visit our website @ www.nmrfam.wisc.edu and check the News on the right side.
  • The 13C/15N direct observe cryogenic probe has been installed on Kerry (500I)- a 500 MHz Bruker Avance III with Samplejet. The signal-to-noise for 13C is 1400:1 (ASTM) and for 15N 80:1 (formamide). It is still suitable for 1H observation (S/N 1600:1 Ethylbenzene).  This spectrometer is available for users.
  • A Bruker Avance III 600 MHz LC-MS-NMR and a 700 MHz NMR spectrometer are on order. They are expected to be delivered early 2010. The 600 MHz spectrometer will have a LC-MS system for characterization and isolation of metabolites and natural products and will be delivered with 5mm 1H{13C/15N/31P} and 1.7mm  1H{13C/15N} cryogenic probes. The 700 MHz instrument will have a  5mm 1H{13C/15N/31P} cryogenic probe. Both systems will have SampleJet sample changers.
  • See the YouTube videos describing rNMR, the new small molecule visualization and quantification tool.
