A.| NMR ResearchOver the last two decades we have witnessed a substaintial increase in the range and power of NMR applications, which allow chemists to gain an order magnitude more information than that provided by standard or traditional NMR experiments. Four developments were necessary for this revolutionary change. Hardware, software, magnet and probe technology. In our center, we are focusing on the new experiments development and application on different area, such as HRMAS on cancer tissue andbiomaterials, Natural product structure elucidation, extrem temperature controlled experiments etc. |
NMR Course The NMR course is offered once a year for graduate students and post doctors who are currently using NMR as a tool in their research. The course provides a basic training on the hardware and softwere, as well as experiment setup techniques and data processing. It is a week-long course, lecture in the morning, hands-on experiments in the afternoon. The course fee is required: $250 per person. |
| NMR Technology Development I am very interested in develope new NMR techniques and applications for our users. Also I am interested in develope NMR hardware to improve sensitivity,and automation. |
NMR Trouble shooting Two major parts: RF channels and Digital control units. For the part one, I use TDS osciloscope and few attenuators to check the RF pulse path. and FID returns. The best starting point: PTS, probe out put, Amplifier input.outpu, and attenuator output. For the part two, I start with the software, if some hardware cannot be controlled, then swap borads and reboot. There is nothing to troubleshoot on board. |
| NMR User Training and Authorization We have set up a policy for user training. Everone who wants to use our facility, no exception, has to have train with our NMR service instructor. We have formalized training procedure and checkout procedure. If you have no knowledge of NMR, you are still able to sigh up for training. After training, you have to check out within one month. |
NMR User Relations and Collaborations We are willing to help anyone is interested in using NMR as a tool in their research, production, quality control, criminal case, medical device. Also we are very interested in collaborate with anyone who is going to use NMR in their research. |

NMR research Center at Emory
The NMR Research Center houses eight high resolution Super Conductor-based? NMR spectrometers? (INOVA 600, UNITY 600, AVANCE 600 WB SSNMR, INOVA 400, UNITY 400, Mercury 300 and two VNMRS400). There are about 150 authorized routine users from Chemistry, biology, medical school, VA hospital CDC and Georgia Tech. Total capital of NMRs is 4.5 Millions from NIH, NSF, Georgia Research Fundation, Emory and private contributions.
The NMR Center is capable of performing most routine experiments such as Multidimensional?NMR for such nuclei as 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P, 183W, 29Si, 51V, 27Al, 2H, 11B etc. The instruments are capable of collecting data of interest nuclei at temperatures from -100 oC to 150 oC. Also we are able to develope special NMR experiments for researchers.
The NMR Center has one delicated solid state NMR (Bruker AVANCE 600 WB). It is capable of performing most solid state NMR experiments such as HRMAS, CRAMPS, CPMAS and REDOR.
