NMR Spectroscopy

The Departmental Analytical Lab houses two NMR spectrometers, a Bruker Avance DPX 200 and a Bruker Avance DRX 500.

  • The 200MHz instrument is equipped with a 5 mm BBO probe, a 10 mm BBO is available upon request.
  • The 500MHz instrument is usually configured with a 5 mm TXI probe, but can also be equipped with a 10 mm BBO probe for larger sample volumes. This instrument has gradient capability. 
  • Both instruments are equipped with temperature controls and can be heated as well as cooled.

For access to the instrumentation and user training please contact Heike Hofstetter (hhofst@niu.edu)
