Instrumentation

Bruker 300 MHz DPX NMR Spectrometer

• Actively shielded magnet
• Z-axis pulsed field gradient capability
• A 5 mm broad band observe probe (BBO) for observing nearly all magnetic nuclei
• A Hewlett Packard XW4200 Linux workstation housing Bruker's Topspin software for instrument control
• A Case 24 autosampler for automated analysis of up to 24 samples (this feature can be used on either spectrometer)

Bruker Avance 500 MHz NMR Spectrometer

• Actively shielded magnet
• X, Y, and Z Triple-axis pulsed field gradient capability
• Five probes:
  • A 2.5-mm broad band observe probe for microsamples
  • A 5-mm broad band inverse detected probe
  • A 5-mm triple resonance probe for observing ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N in biological samples
  • A 5-mm triple resonance probe for observing ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P in biological samples
  • A 5-mm broad band detected cryo probe (currently installed on the spectrometer)
  • A Hewlett Packard XW4200 Linux workstation housing Bruker's Topspin software for instrument control
  • Variable temperature control

High-Field Instruments

For structural biology problems, higher-field instruments (750 MHz and 800 MHz) are available through our participation in the Gulf Coast Consortia. Contact Kumar Kaluarachchi, Ph.D., for details.
