NUCLEAR
MAGNETIC RESONANCE(NMR) FACILITIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
NMR Facility at Louisiana State University houses
five high-resolution (liquid state) and one solid-state
spectrometer. The high-resolution spectrometers include
a Bruker DPX-250, a Bruker ARX-300, a Bruker DPX-400
a Varian INOVA-500 and a Varian VS-700. The solid
state instrument is a 3-channel Bruker AV-400. All
instruments are equipped with Z-axis gradients. The
VS-700 spectrometer is equipped with an HCN, triple
resonance, cold probe. The DPX-250, ARX-300, and
the DPX-400 instruments are used primarily for short,
routine experiments on a walk-up basis. The 500 MHz
and 700 MHz instruments are used primarily relaxation
time measurements, diffusion studies, HR-MAS, and
two-dimensional NMR experiments. The Bruker low-field
high-resolution spectrometers are each controlled
by an SGI O2 workstation. The Varian spectrometers
as well as the solid-state console are controlled
by LINUX workstations. All workstations are networked
to facilitate the transfer of data to an investigator's
personal computer for inclusion in progress reports,
manuscripts, dissertations or for off-line processing.
