Pure & Applied Chemistry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

Our NMR is a University based facility made up of a magnet room, technical support office, and two laboratories - data processing and sample preparation and handling.

At the heart of the facility are four Bruker NMR spectrometers. They're capable of a wide range of applications working from high-throughput fully automated mode using robotic sample handling and Bruker’s IconNMR to manual interaction mode. 

Spectrometers operate under TopSpin 2.1 except where stated in a Windows XP based environment based on HP XW4300 PCs.

The NMR Facility is supported by two members of staff. Day-to-day technical support is ably provided by Craig Irving.

Experimental and theoretical support is provided by NMR Spectroscopist John Parkinson. John holds a track record of more than 25 years of experience working in the field of NMR spectroscopy.
