Avance III 600

Summary

The Bruker Avance III Spectrometer features a 14.1 Tesla/600MHz narrow bore Ascend Series magnet and capacity for up to four channels -  2H/1H/13C/BB. Topspin 3.0 software is used for data acquisition and processing. Data can also be processed using the third party MNova software. Instrument features include:

  • Normal geometry 2H/1H/BB BBFO SmartProbe capable of tuning to nuclei of 109Ag-19F on the broadband channel. Autolock, autoshim, autotune capabilities. Variable temperature capabilities ranging from -150 °C to +150 °C.
  • Inverse geometry 2H/1H/13C/BB inverse probe with a dedicated 13C channel and 109Ag - 19F range on the broadband channel. Autolock and autoshim capabilities. Variable temperature capabilities ranging from -150 °C to +150 °C.
  • BCU-I Bruker chiller for VT experiments in the -30 °C to +150 °C range.
  • Liquid N2 dewar with heat exchanger for VT experiments down to -150 °C.
  • SampleExpress 60-sample changer (not compatible with full-size J-Young tubes). 

The AVIII-600 was acquired in 2011, NSF MRI 1040098*
