• Bioscience 411
• Liquids autotuning broadband probe (BBFO) with Z gradient

Summary

Location: Biosciences Complex room 411.
Installation Date: June 2^nd, 2025 (Console and iProbe).
Funding Source: CFI-JELF, 2023.

The Bruker Avance Neo spectrometer operates using a 9.4 T (400 MHz) Ultrashield standard bore magnet (originally installed on October 20^th, 2005). The NMR spectrometer is normally equipped with a Bruker triple resonance broadband observe (TBO) iProbe capable of observing almost any nucleus from ¹⁰⁹Ag to ³¹P. The outer coil is tuned for ¹H decoupling or observation, and a dedicated ¹⁹F channel allows for direct fluorine observation or decoupling. It features a fully automated 60-slot robotic sample changer, allowing users to walk up and schedule their samples for analysis.

Equipped with the TBO iProbe, this instrument is ideal for routine spectroscopy of X, F and H nuclei, and offers exceptional sensitivity. Simultaneous ¹H and ¹⁹F decoupling offers a unique advantage for fluorinated molecules (organofluorine small molecules, pharmaceuticals, materials, polymers, etc.).

Summary

Location: D'Iorio Hall room 416.

The Bruker Avance III HD spectrometer operates using a 14.1 T (600 MHz) Ultrashield standard bore magnet. The NMR spectrometer is normally equipped with a Bruker triple resonance inverse (TCI) cryoprobe optimized for ¹H and ¹³C observation. It features a fully automated robotic sample changer, allowing users to walk up and schedule their samples for analysis.

Equipped with the cryoprobe, this instrument is ideal for high-sensitivity biological NMR research, and applications requiring high sensitivity and resolution.
