Instrumentation

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has a strong and growing inventory of teaching and research instrumentation. Many other resources are also available through other Departments in the Swenson College of Science and Engineering. See the online Instrumentation Catalog for information on using these shared resources.

NMR Spectrometers

500MHz Varian instrument with autotuner, low temperature capability and three probes:

  • Dual Broadband for proton NMR
  • F–19 and H–1 in one channel and a large variety of nuclei including C–13, P–31, B–11, O–17, Xe–129, I–127, and others 10mm broadband probe for nuclei ranging from N–15 to Rh–103
  • Triple resonance HCX probe
