NMR Spectrometer: 600-MHz NB Varian Inova (Liquids) - (Glacier)

Quick Specs

  • 600 Mhz 1H frequency
  • Varian Inova console
  • VnmrJ 2.2D software
  • Penta probe (Z-gradient) with variable-temperature (VT) control
  • Equipped for protein structure determination and metabolomics research

Highlighted Research Applications

Researchers may operate the system independently and can be trained to manage fully self-directed operations. Collaborative work with staff scientists is encouraged. For remote use, the user may ship sample(s) to EMSL, and a staff scientist will assist with placing the sample(s) in the magnet and tuning the probe. The user then can operate the spectrometer via a secure Internet connection.

Solution-state probes:

All of the listed probes have a VT range of -20 to 80°C.

The spectrometer is equipped with four radio frequency channels and a Z-axis gradient amplifier.
