Level 2 is for advanced users who desire to perform highly sensitive NMR measurements using our high-field instruments. You can consult "Which Instruments to Use?" to decide which training to take.
AV-500
AV-500 is dedicated to experiments with long durations such as variable temperature NMR, kinetics measurements, diffusion NMR, materials science applications, and solid NMR. To gain access to AV-500:
- Request to attend AV-500 training session,
- The training session will be held in person,
- After the training, you will have temporary access to AV-500,
- AV-500 check-out will be required to maintain access beyond the training hours.
Instruments Equipped with a Prodigy cryoprobe: NEO-501 & AV-600
The NEO-501 and the AV-600 are equipped with a Prodigy Cryoprobe, which is optimized for braod-band NMR and has highest sensitivty for X-nuclei such as 13C. To gain access to these instruments:
- Request to attend All-purpose cryoprobe training,
- The training session will be held in person,
- After the training, you will have temporary access to AV-600, and unlimited access to the NEO-501,
- AV-600 check-out will be required to maintain access to the instrument beyond the training hours.
AV-700
AV-700 is equipped with a helium cryoprobe optimized for 1H NMR and has highest sensitivtity among our instruments for multi-dimentional structure elucidation experiments, such as HSQC and HMBC. To gain access to the AV-700:
- Request to attend AV-700 training,
- The training session will be held in person
- After the training, you will have temporary access to AV-700,
- AV-700 check-out will be required to maintain access beyond the training hours,
