Use of automatic NMR instruments in self-service regime

Purposes Adressed to Requirements Cost Dates Location



This activity deals with basic aspects of the NMR technique: main concepts, sample preparation, safety, acquisition in automatic mode and data processing with MNova. It provides access to the following equipment working on a self-service basis:

• Bruker 400 installed in the Faculty of Pharmacy
• Varian Mercury 400 installed in the Faculty of Chemistry and in the PCB

The applicant may choose to carry out the Varian and or the Bruker practical part in order to have access to the corresponding NMR instrument.

 Purposes

To provide basic information on safety issues and use of NMR instrumentation, focusing on the following items:
  • Safety in an NMR lab.
  • Description of the Unitat de RMN lab. Alternatives to automatic equipment.
  • Features and capabilities of the instrumentation, common experiments and basic parameters.
  • Basic concepts of data processing with MNova software.
  • Introduction to the use of automatic medium field NMR instrumentation (practical session).

 Addressed to

All researchers requiring self-service access to the aforementioned equipment.

 Requirements

  • 1. Be linked to a research group of the UB or Public Center as a PhD student, post-doc or professor, or, being in possession of a degree, and be linked for at least one year to a company located in the PCB.
  • 2. Be registered as a CCiT-UB user. Proceed otherwise through Users tab at www.ccit.ub.edu.
  • 3. Be registered as a Unitat de RMN user. Proceed otherwise through info@rmn.ub.edu and notify the previously assigned CCiT User Number.
  • 4. Fill in the online registration form of the corresponding course (http://www.rmn.ub.es/es/usuarios/login.php) and deliver it signed to the Unitat de RMN.
    • Some background of NMR fundamentals would be recommendable (Friebolin book level and Claridge chapters 1-3).

 Cost

The corresponding to 1 hour of Highly Qualified Technician according to current official rates of the UB.
