Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

NMR Spectrometer Schedule

The primary mission of the Penn State NMR Facility is to make NMR spectroscopy available to students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty of the University for the purpose of answering scientific questions that arise in their research. Student training, spectrometer maintenance, spectrometer upgrades, spectrometer repair, and scientific NMR consultation are corollary activities that support this mission.

The Penn State NMR Facility, located in the basement of the Chemistry Building is equipped with nine superconducting NMR spectrometers---seven for high-resolution liquid-state NMR and two for solids operation. The seven liquid-state spectrometers are all Brukers: an ACE-200, two DPX-300's, an Advance 360, a DRX-400, an AMX-2-500, and a DRX-600 (the numbers refer to the Larmor frequencies of 1H on the respective spectrometers). The two solid state NMR spectrometers, the CMX-300 and an Infinity-500, are Chemagnetics and Chemagnetics/Varian, respectively.

All NMR spectrometers of the facility are available to users who have been trained in their use and tested by the Director. The Director is also available to assist all users with their NMR experiments and in the interpretation of their data. The research support associate is responsible for all electronics issues as well as managing most of the day-to-day operations at the Facility.
