NMR Spectrometer: 800 MHz (18.8 Tesla) Varian Inova
Quick Specs
- 800-MHz frequency
- Capabile of solid-state and solution-state experiments
- Low-temperature capability at less than 25 K
The Varian Inova 800-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer is equipped with a 65-mm medium bore and a Varian Inova console. This system is capable of performing both solid-state and solution-state NMR experiments. EMSL researchers mainly use the solution state to conduct protein structure determination studies, while the solid-state capabilities are used to conduct material science studies, although biological solid-state experiments are becoming increasingly more common.
The console is equipped with four radio frequency channels and a triple-axis gradient amplifier. The instrument uses two 5-mm HCN (Z-gradient) solutions probes and three solids probes consisting of a 4-mm HXY MAS probe (24-kHz spinning), a 5-mm HX static probe, and a 5-mm low-temperature probe for work at 10 K. The console is controlled by a Sun Blade 100 computer connected to the network.
Researchers may operate this system independently and are provided as much training as necessary for independent operation. Many users opt to operate this system remotely; in this case, the sample is shipped by the user to EMSL, where a facility researcher places the sample in the magnet and tunes the probe. The user then can operate the NMR spectrometer through a secure connection over the Internet.
