NMR Spectrometers:
AVIII 600 MHz (Sage) – CBEC 092
This is the most versatile instrument in the CBC facility, capable of a large number of experiments ranging from routine experiments to advanced multi-dimensional and multi-nuclear NMR as well as variable temperature (-90C to +90C). Advanced users must be comfortable with hardware manipulations in order to optimize the conditions and obtain high-quality data.
Varian 500 MHz – CBEC 092
Solid samples may be submitted to the facility for analysis. Please schedule a consultation appointment with the facility manager to discuss research interests. There is a large array of experiments available including CP-MAS, relaxation measurements, MQ-MAS, etc.
AVIII 400 MHz (Saffron) – CBEC 092
This is a walk-up instrument equipped with a SampleJet sample changer queuing up to 576 samples. Undergraduate organic laboratory students have access to this system via course curriculum and individual research. All researchers within the department, when trained, can submit a variety of NMR experiments – proton, carbon, phosphorus, fluorine, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, etc.
Avance Neo 400 MHz (Wasabi) – CBEC 092
This is a walk-up instrument equipped with a SampleJet sample changer queuing up to 576 samples and a Prodigy Cryoprobe for enhanced sensitivity. This instrument is reserved for graduate student and post-doctoral researchers. Once trained, those within the department can submit samples to acquire a variety of NMR experiments – proton, carbon, phosphorus, fluorine, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, etc.
Bruker Fourier 80 MHz (Sesame) – CBEC -092
This instrument is primarily used for training of the teaching labs.
Avance Neo 400 MHz (Cinnamon) – Evans 0031
This is one of our most versatile instrument in the CBC facility, capable of a large number of experiments ranging from routine experiments of a variety of nuclei to advanced multi-dimensional, multi-nuclear NMR and variable temperature (-90C to +90C) experiments. This spectrometer is located in the basement of Evans Lab (0031). Spectrometer is equipped with a SampleCase which is compatible for a variety of NMR tubes and caps (including flame-sealed tubes and J. Young tubes). This room is also furnished with blackout drapes for loading light-sensitive materials.
DPX 250 MHz (Thyme) – Evans 0031
This is a walk-up instrument that is capable of collecting 1D NMR spectra. This spectrometer is equipped with a QNP probe that allows for detection of 1H, 13C, 11B, and 31P nuclei. This room is also furnished with blackout drapes for loading light-sensitive materials.
EPR Spectrometers:
EMX-Plus EPR – CBEC 081
The Bruker EMX-Plus EPR spectrometer is equipped with a ColdEdge cryostat for cryogen-free liquid-helium temperatures. This is a standard continuous-wave (CW), X-band (9.4 GHz) EPR spectrometer which regulates temperature down to 5K.
ESR5000 EPR – CBEC 081
The Bruker ESR5000 EPR spectrometer is a benchtop, continuous-wave (CW), X-band (9.4 GHz) EPR spectrometer with a variety of attachments and modes. These include room temperature use, variable temperature (100-400K), liquid nitrogen finger dewar, optical irradiation unit, and a flat cell adaptor.
