Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Unit


The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Unit provides researchers with access to a wide range of NMR experiments both under automation or manual mode.
 
It also advises researchers about the most appropriate experiment to their needs and it trains and teaches researchers about how to use NMR, what information can be obtained from NMR experiments and how to optimize the instrumental resources available.


The techniques available up to now guarantee access to all kinds of NMR experiments in liquid phase for a wide range of nuclei and in gel phase for the more common nuclei (1H and 13C). The NMR unit has successfully introduced researchers to such uncommon techniques as heteronuclear (mono and bidimensional) experiments, diffusion experiments and kinetic measurements.

The staff of the unit also organizes training activities which range from training new users how to obtain NMR spectra automatically and how to use NMR processing software (TOPSPIN), to more general courses about the NMR experiments available and the information they can provide.
