Open access

Open-access

The open-access facilities provide rapid access to routine 1D and 2D spectra primarily involving 1H, 13C, 19F, and 31P nuclei. They are geared towards fast turnover and hence rapid sample throughput.
 
As a researcher in the CRL, you will be shown how to run spectra on the open-access machines in a basic training session, which must be completed before using these instruments. To arrange a training session, please contact the NMR staff list.
 
Samples requiring more complex analysis, or especially dilute samples, should be submitted to the NMR service (or you may be trained to do it yourself in hands-on mode).
