Florida State / Research / Research Facilities / NMR LAB
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is one of the most powerful non-destructive spectroscopic analytical techniques, which can be used to determine the molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions at the atomic level. NMR plays a vital role across diverse fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, drug development, materials science, nanotechnology, and environmental science. The Florida State University on-campus NMR facility (FSU-NMR) currently hosts 6 high resolution Bruker NMR spectrometers with 1H frequencies ranging from 400 to 700 MHz. Except for the B500WB spectrometer equipped with CPMAS, HR-MAS and Ultrafast-MAS probes is dedicated for solid-state and gel samples, all other 5 spectrometers (B400, B400HD B500, B600 and B700) are for solution NMR. Particularly, the B700 MHz spectrometers with cryo-probe offers enhanced sensitivity for large molecules and bio-samples. The mission of FSU-NMR is to educate students, support researchers, benefit the community, and build the reputation of FSU.
