Welcome to Washington University’s Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an experimental technique used widely in chemistry, materials science, and chemical and environmental engineering that utilizes a large external magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses to obtain physical and chemical information about the materials of interest.
Our facility is uniquely equipped with a 400 MHz Bruker AVANCE NEO spectrometer capable of performing high temperature (up to 250 C) and high pressure (400 bar at 20 C, 200 bar at 250 C) NMR experiments for in-situ analysis. For a more in depth look at our instrumentation and how it is used to further research in a wide variety of areas, follow the links below.
We are currently open to receiving samples from both internal and external institutions for analysis! If you wish to have samples analyzed on our instrument, please visit our user access page below for an explanation of how to have samples analyzed at our facility.
