In 2013, following the award of an EPSRC Core Capability for Chemistry grant, the NMR Spectroscopy Facility instrumentation was upgraded and several instruments were retired after many years of service.
The Bruker AV300/1 FT-NMR spectrometer was the main workhorse instrument in the NMR facility for over 20 years and was equipped with a quad-probe capable of recording 1H, 13C, 19F and 31P spectra and a 60 position sample-changer.
The Bruker AV300/2 FT-NMR Spectrometer was was used for rapid, routine "hands-on" data acquisition and was equipped with a H/C dual-head probe capable of recording 1H and 13C spectra.
The Bruker DPX400/1 FT-NMR Spectrometer was employed for rapid acquisition of routine 2D NMR experiments (HH COSY, HH TOCSY, HMQC, HMBC) and was equipped with a H/C dual-head probe capable of recording 1D and 2D 1H and 13C spectra and a 60 position sample-changer; the magnet continues as part of the 400/2 system.
The Bruker DPX400/2 FT-NMR spectrometer was equipped with a range of probes to cover the range of both routine and more specialised NMR experimentation; the magnet continues as part of the 400/2 system.
