High Resolution Liquids NMR

At the Department of Chemistry, we have six high resolution NMR spectrometers for research purposes. These spectrometers are operated hands-on by trained students. Please see the inside users web page for information on training and sign-up information.

Contact Timothy Burrow for more information.

Location

The solution NMR Labs are in the analytical basement wing of the Lash Miller Labs, in LM14.

The doors to the labs are locked after-hours; keys are available to research groups. Please ask Tim Burrow if you need keys. There is an electronic lock with key code to access the NMR labs.
