Bruker AVII 400 MHz NMR spectrometer
Internally known as the "400/1", this spectrometer is available to trained users and runs under walk-up open-access automation.
The 400/1 is equipped with a 5mm broadband fluorine-observe (BBFO) probe for routine observation of proton (¹H), carbon (¹³C), fluorine (¹⁹F) and phosphorus (³¹P), and is intended for rapid acquisition of routine NMR experiments such as one-dimensional (1D) ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ³¹P spectra, and experiments like proton-proton correlation spectroscopy (HH COSY), proton-proton total correlation spectroscopy (HH TOCSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), and fluorine-fluorine correlation spectroscopy (FF COSY).
Bruker AVII 400 MHz NMR spectrometer
Internally known as the "400/2", this spectrometer is available to trained users and can be booked for experiments that require greater manual intervention than allowed with the open-access instruments.
The system features 4 room temperature probes:
- 5 mm dual (DUL) proton/carbon (H/C) probe for observation protons (¹H) and carbon (¹³C) in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments
- 10 mm broadband observe (BBO) multinuclear probe with automatic tuning and matching for observation of nuclei from silver (¹⁰⁹Ag) to phosphorus (³¹P), with proton (¹H) decoupling
- 10 mm low-frequency multinuclear probe with manual tuning for observation of nuclei from rhodium (¹⁰³Rh)to an unspecified nucleus (XXX) with proton (¹H) decoupling
- 5 mm single echo field (SEF) probe for observation of fluorine (¹⁹F) with proton (¹H) decoupling (also ¹H observe with ¹⁹F decoupling) one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments
Bruker AVIIIHD 400 MHz NMR spectrometer
Internally known as the "400/3", this spectrometer is available to trained users and runs under walk-up open-access automation.
The 400/3 is equipped with a 5mm small multinuclear auto-resonance tuning (SMART) probe for routine observation of proton (¹H), carbon (¹³C), fluorine (¹⁹F) and phosphorus (³¹P), and is intended for rapid acquisition of routine NMR experiments such as one-dimensional (1D) ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ³¹P spectra, and experiments like proton-proton correlation spectroscopy (HH COSY), proton-proton total correlation spectroscopy (HH TOCSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), and fluorine-fluorine correlation spectroscopy (FF COSY).
Bruker AVIIIHD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer
The AVIIIHD500 Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectrometer is used by NMR facility staff and trained NMR super-users to acquire data from more demanding and specialised NMR experiments.
Equipped with a 5mm broadband fluorine-observe (BBFO) multinuclear helium cryoprobe with automatic tuning and matching for observation of nuclei from nitrogen (¹⁵N) to phosphorus/fluorine (³¹P /¹⁹F) with proton (¹H) decoupling at substantial sensitivity enhancements, the 500 is primarily used for non-routine NMR spectroscopic analyses that are unsuited to the open-access instruments or where the uplfted field is necessary.
Typical experiments include extended variable temperature NMR studies, nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) investigations to probe structural issues, extended 2D experiments, reaction monitoring and kinetics.
