Education and Courses
The Facility offers workshops that include talks, instrument tutorials and hands-on software exercises. Small-group training is offered on a continuous basis. In addition, the Facility offers lectures for inclusion in existing classes or seminars geared to departmental series and informal presentations at group meetings. Topics generally focus on local applications of NMR, but can include more general discussions of theory and practice.
Facility Information for Grants
The Carver College of Medicine Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility supports the biomedical research community with three instruments, a wide variety of techniques, and the expertise to probe structure and dynamics of a wide range of biomolecules. A full spectroscopic and interpretive service is offered, as well as assistance and training for researchers who wish to perform their own experiments. Instrumentation includes: a Bruker Avance II 800 MHz equipped with a TCI cryoprobe and 60 sample changer with barcode reader, a Bruker Avance NEO 600 MHz with a QCI-P cryoprobe, and a Bruker Avance II 500 MHz with a TXI probe and 60 sample changer with barcode reader.
