Equipment

Bruker 300 MHz Avance II NMR spectrometer, 5 mm BBO probe

The 300 MHz NMR spectrometer is installed in room 421, on the 4th floor of Complexo I. This equipment is permanently outfitted with a 5 mm two-channel (1H and X) Broad Band probe.

Available nuclei and experiments

Besides the standard 1H and 13C 1D experiments, this equipment allows for the observation of the following nuclei at the respective frequencies. 2D experiments are also available in this equipment, as well as temperature variation experiments (VT up and VT down). VT experiments are limited to the temperature range of -80 to +120 ºC.

Time slot division and pricing

Time slots in the 300 MHz spectrometer are divided according to the scheme below. Booking of each time slot is restricted to specific time intervals. While weeknights, weekends and 3-hour blocks may be booked one week in advance, the 30 min blocks can only be booked 30 hours before.

Pricing is fixed at 1 unit/hour of use, being the real cost of each hour of use adjusted based on the year balance. VT experiments have added costs depending on the type and duration of the experiment.

User access rules

Only properly trained users have access to this spectrometer. VT experiments can only be performed by qualified personnel and after authorization by the management staff.

VT experiments can only be performed during the 3-hour blocks. VT down experiments cannot be performed at night.
