Facility Details

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Research Core provides Rensselaer researchers, in addition to academic and industrial users throughout the community, access to state-of-the-art, ultra-high field NMR instrumentation. The diverse capabilities of the facility are enabled with an array of fixed and broadband tunable probes for solution and solid-state NMR, and resonators and high power gradients for diffusion and magnetic resonance microimaging. The NMR core actively supports research programs including structure determination of small molecules, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and macromolecular complexes at atomic resolution, quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, metabolomics applications, diffusion analysis, characterization of materials, and MR microimaging.

Expert training and assistance is available in experiment design and/or pulse sequence customization, sample preparation, data acquisition, processing, analysis, and reporting of results (e.g. manuscript and/or grant preparation) in addition to comprehensive fee-for-service support.
