The University NMR Facility was first established as an Inter-Faculty operation with its first spectrometer with a superconducting magnet, in 1982. We specialise in analysis of substances using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

It is now located within the purpose-built Analytical Centre, housed in the Chemical Sciences Building (F10), and equipped to an international standard with state-of-the art instruments, featuring seven Bruker Instruments magnetic resonance spectrometers and a computer room for off-line data processing and archiving:

  • A new Avance III - 700 MHz instrument Felix, installed April 2010
  • A new Avance III - 600 MHz instrument Tesla,with auto sampler, upgrade and commissioned in 2009
  • A new Avance III - 500 MHz instrument Hertz, decommissioned in 2012
  • A new Avance III - 400 MHz instrument Gauss, with autosampler, commissioned in 2008;
  • A new Avance III - 300 MHz instrument Pines, dedicated to solids, upgrade and commissioned in 2009
  • A new Avance III - 300 MHz instrument Gyro, with a SampleXpress autosampler upgrade and commissioned in 2011
  • A DPX 300 with an autosampler, one upgrade and commissioned in 2008 Flip
  • An EMX X-Band Bohr, spectrometer, upgrade and commissioned in 2006
  • Computer processing room

All the spectrometers are fitted for the latest experimental innovations, enabling execution of the most up-to-date experiments in this still rapidly developing area of chemical, biological materials analysis and nano-structural research.

Indications of the range and scope of our collaborative efforts can be found in Publications.

The Facility is funded through the Analytical Centre, by the DVC(Research) Division, and supported by ARC LIEF grants, by internal MREII grants and by user contributions.
