MR 400
Summary
The Varian MR-400 features a narrow bore 9.4 tesla/400 MHz magnet equipped with a OneNMR pulse-field-gradient probe. VNMRJ 3.0 is used for data acquisition, and the MNova software is typically used for data processing. This instrument is used for routine 1H/13C characterization experiments, routine X nucleus detection, 1D selective experiments (APT, DEPT, NOESY1D) and 2D experiments.
- The OneNMR probe features autolock and autoshim, and is capable of auto tuning to nuclei from 15N - 19F. This probe uses the 1H channel for 19F experiments.
- Variable temperature capabilities for experiments in the range of -80 to +130 °C.
The MR-400 was acquired in 2010, NSF CHE 0946687*
The instrument is located in 1232 Hach Hall. Enquiries should be directed to Dr. Sarah Cady or Dr. Shu Xu. Phone 515-294-5975 (Hach office/NMR lab), 515-294-4057 (Gilman NMR lab).
