Traditionally, NMR is performed using a very high ratio of solvent to sample, typically involving 1-10 L of sample in 600 L of deuterated NMR solvent.

The NMR Lab is also available to all outside users, both academic and industrial ( contact the Director).

Our primary goal is to provide the highest level of NMR performance to the students, staff, and faculty of the School and UIUC campus. To make the most of NMR as an analytical tool, all newcomers receive about 4 hours of individual basic training with additional instruction available for variable temperature control, multi-dimensional NMR, and specialty spectrometers and experiments. Electronics and IT staff provide additional support. We also provide automated NMR sample analysis for undergrad organic chemistry courses offered via the Department of Chemistry. An automated Bruker CryoProbe (500 MHz spectrometer) was added in the summer of 2016 and another automated Bruker Prodigy probe (600 MHz spectrometer) was added in the winter of 2021. Our 7 Varian spectrometers and 2 Bruker spectrometers include (in MHz): Seven liquid-state NMRs: 400 MHz (one), 500 MHz (four), 600 MHz (two) one solid-state, 300-MHz NMR one liquid/solid compatible NMR: 750 MHz. All are equipped for variable temperature operation. Spectrometers at 400 MHz, 500 MHz, and 600 MHz are available for short-to-medium length experiments a 300-MHz wide-bore spectrometer with specialty probes and solids accessories can perform multinuclear and solid state NMR experiments. Supported by four full-time staff and two student hourlies, eight spectrometers in three locations allow walk-up and long-term NMR experiments 24/7. The NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Lab of the School of Chemical Sciences offers a wide range of spectrometers, probes, and technical capabilities including multi-dimensional, multi-nuclear, and solid-state NMR. Further information is available from the NMR Lab Staff and this web page. Newcomers to the NMR Lab should visit 146 Roger Adams Lab and see Nikki Duay for a briefing.
