NMR User Training
To schedule a new user's training session, please contact Will Tracy at william.tracy@emory.edu to make a reservation or for advice.
Before Attending A Training Session
Print out the Training Request Form, have your advisor sign it, and bring it with you to the training session.
(If you are in a rotation, have your current rotation advisor sign the form.)
Print out the 1H, 13C, and Locking & Shimming instructions and bring them with you to the training session. Read them briefly beforehand.
You may bring a sample of your own to the training session. You may practice with your sample TIME PERMITTING.
(A typical sample should contain ~5 – 20 mg of sample in 0.7 mL of deuterated solvent.)
Before You Check Out
You should practice taking 1H and 13C spectra for several weeks (typically about one month).
You should also practice locking and shimming solvents other than CDCl3.
Review the NMR General Handout.
Check Out Exam
For the checkout exam, you will be required to take 1H and 13C NMRs, lock a D2O sample, and accurately shim a shimming standard.
You will also be asked to take a short (5 question) quiz on commands and safety.
Bring with you an NMR key request form signed by your advisor.
