Bruker Avance III 600 MHz with a 13C/1H Cryoprobe:

  • The Dual resonance 5mm DCH Cryoprobe has a Z gradient. While it is optimized for 13C detection, the 1H sensitivity is also very good.
  • The Cryoprobe delivers the single largest increase in NMR sensitivity in the last few decades. This enables an increase sample throughput by up to 16- fold.

Other Probes:

  • 4 mm Top-loading DVT Multinuclear Double Resonance MAS probe tunable from 15N to 31P, with 50μL active volume and 15 kHz maximum spinning speed. VT range -50oC to +120oC.
  • 5 mm SMARTProbe sample diameter with actively shielded Z-gradient and digital tuning for observation over the range from 15N to 31P as well as 19F with 1H decoupling

Varian Unity Inova 600 Mhz with a Penta, 1H{13C,15N,31P,2D} probe:

  • It is an indirect detection probes designed for versatility in biomolecular applications. It is tuned to allow decoupling of up to four different nuclei including 2H lock.

Other probes:

  • Triple Resonance, 1H{13C,15N} indirect detection probe with triple axis (XYZ) gradients for superior solvent suppression.
  • Double Resonance Indirect, 1H{15N - 31P} probe, outer coil is tunable over the frequency range (15N - 31P)
  • Dual Broadband (15N - 31P){ 1H }5mm and 10mm probes.  Multinuclear probes optimized for nuclei in the typical frequency range of 15N - 31P.

Varian Vxrs 400MHz with versatile AutoSwitchable (13C/31P){1H/19F} probes

Other probes:

  • Dual Broadband (15N - 31P){ 1H } 5mm and 10mm probes

Varian Gemini 200MHz with versatile AutoSwitchable (13C/31P){1H/19F} probes:

  • Esquire-LC (Bruker-HP) with ESI source and manual injection
  • This system combines Hewlett Packards HP1100 series HPLC with Bruker's multipole ion trap MS and MSn analyzer.

Other sources:

  • APCI, Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization
  • Nanospray

Bruker ESP300 E, an X-band EPR spectrometer ESP300E-EPR-spectrometer:

  • Oxford cryostat, for electron spin resonance experiments at cryogenic temperatures, down to 4K.
