Summary
The Bruker Avance III Spectrometer features a 14.1 Tesla/600MHz standard bore Ultrashield Plus magnet and capacity for up to four channels: 1H/2H/13C/15N or 31P. Topspin 3.6 software is used for data acquisition and processing. This instrument is equipped with a cryoprobe for high-sensitivity biological NMR research. Users with expertise in biological solution NMR regularly develop and implement their own pulse sequences. Users who do not have experience with the cryoprobe can submit samples. User-submitted samples will be charged for a minimum of one hour staff time for experiment setup, in addition to the instrument time required for spectral acquisition. Additional pulse sequence development and implementation from CIF staff will be charged at the hourly staff rate. Instrument features include:
- 5 mm QCI-P solution cryoprobe with extended temperature range of 0-135 °C.
- BLAXH2H500/100/150 + BLAX300 amplifiers
- 5 mm TBI probe for room temperature solution experiments.
- BCU-II chiller for variable temperature experiments from 0 °C to +135 °C.
- SampleCase 24-sample changer
The AVIII 600 was acquired 2024. The cryoprobe was acquired in 2015 and was previously installed on an AVII 600 system. Information on acknowledging funding and staff assistance for this instrument can be found on this page.
The instrument is located in 1232 Hach Hall. Enquiries should be directed to Dr. Sarah Cady or Dr. Jeff Purslow. Phone 515-294-5975 (Hach office/NMR lab) or 515-294-5805 (Sarah office).
