The Magnetic Resonance Center (MRC) at Boston College (BC) maintains three Varian/Agilent and two Bruker AVANCE NEO NMR spectrometers. 瓦里安/安捷伦系统是400, 500和600兆赫与室温探头, 而两个布鲁克系统的频率是500兆赫, 并配备了氦气和奇才低温探测器. The Bruker instruments, 哪些是MRC的最新成员, 是由NIH-S10和NSF-MRI项目的外部拨款资助的吗. 除了核磁共振光谱仪, the MRC also maintains a Bruker EMX-Plus EPR system with a cryogen-free variable temperature (VT) setup, 以及ESR 5000台式EPR光谱仪.
The instruments available at the MRC allow NMR users to observe most spin-active nuclei and perform nearly all state-of-the-art, 多维溶液态核磁共振实验. Similarly, any required X-band EPR experiments can also be performed at ambient and low temperature settings, 在MRC员工的监督下. 除了支持广泛的电子游戏正规平台项目的BC教师, 这些光谱仪也用于教学和拓展项目. 所有预订均使用iLab核心设施管理软件, 从而确保最有效地利用设施的资源.
除了仪器和专业知识的MRC工作人员进行咨询, all facility users are further supported by free access to the Mestrenova software for data processing, which can be utilized following a safe and seamless transfer of files to any personal device within the BC network. Users may also store data on the spectrometer computers; this data is backed up by the IT specialists at BC, 谁能随时排除故障并解决任何技术问题.
