    Infrastructure Details

    Name of national/international infrastructure this infrastructure belongs to

    SwedNMR

    Description

    The center provides access to equipment for high-resolution liquid-state and solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) with very broad application areas including material science, metabolomics, studies of small organic or inorganic molecules, and studies of biomacromolecular structure and dynamics. The magnetic field strengths vary between 500–800 MHz 1H frequency.

    The NMR Center is an expert node within SwedNMR, a national research infrastructure supported by the Swedish Research Council (VR).

    Equipment and resources

    Bruker Avance Neo 800 MHz 4-channel spectrometer with TCI 5mm Z-gradient CryoProbe 1H/13C/15N/2H.

    Bruker Avance Neo 600 MHz 4-channel spectrometer with QCI(P) 5mm Z-gradient CryoProbe (1H-19F)/13C/15N/31P/2H.

    Agilent/Varian VNMR-S 500 MHz 4-channel spectrometer with HCX 5mm Z-gradient (1H/13C/15N-31P), HPX 5mm Z-gradient (1H/31P/15N-31P), HX 5mm Z-gradient (1H/15N-31P), HPX 5mm Z-gradient (1H/31P/103Rh-31P), Nalorac DBG500-5EF 5mm Z-gradient (23-203 MHz/1H).

    Services provided

    The center provides access to equipment for liquid-state and solid-state high-field NMR. The Facility manager offers expert help and advice to inexperienced users. All data are temporarily stored locally, and is then transferred to the user.

    Management of the infrastructure

    The center is managed by Facility manager Dr. Zoltan Takacz, in association with the steering group comprising Professors Mikael Akke (LTH), Joao Duarte (M), Daniel Topgaard (N), and Ola Wendt (N/LTH).
