NMRFAM News!

As part of the Network for Advanced NMR (NAN), there are two new 1.1 GHz NMR spectrometers available for use by the broader NMR community. The NMRFAM 1.1 GHz NMR is primarily a solid-state instrument, while the CCRC 1.1 GHz NMR Is configured for solution.

The new 1.1 GHz SSNMR spectrometer at NMRFAM is named Lakenvelder.

Available probes for Lakenvelder include:
BlackFox 1.6 mm HCN/HPC E-Free with lock, for biological samples
Phoenix 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm HFXY with lock, for general fast-MAS purposes
Phoenix 3.2 mm HX for low-gamma nuclei
Bruker HCN 0.7 mm for ultrafast MAS

Details available on the NAN resource connector or our Instruments page

A short description of your project, planned experiments, justification for ultra-high field time, and preliminary spectrum at lower field to demonstrate sample quality is required.

Project proposals are reviewed on the basis of need for GHz NMR time to ensure maximal impact of these instruments. Users who are granted time are added to the reviewer pool to ensure fair access for the community.

Once a project is approved, experiments are scheduled by the individual facilities based on the technical requirements of the planned experiments. The goal is to maximize data collection and minimize spectrometer reconfiguration, and to coordinate projects requiring implementation of new experiments with staff availability.

Rates are $20/hr for 1.1 GHz NMR time. Please contact us directly if cost is an issue.

All data is automatically transferred to the NAN data archive upon completion of data acquisition, providing multiple ways to access your data directly from NMRFAM or through the NAN data browser. This also facilitates publication of your 1.1 GHz raw data sets with unique identifiers, and sample data, processed data, and reference IDs for other repositories (BMRB, PDB, etc.) may be directly linked to the data set before publication.
